Fun on the Farm

We had a great weekend on the farm in Virginia. We went up to see Grandma and Grandpa and celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary!

Here Dad and I are relzaxing on the couch watching College GameDay- a great way to start a Saturday. Too bad NONE of our teams won!

Grandpa bought us this John Deere Gator that is just our size. My cousin Win came over to take me for a ride around the farm. I figured out how to push the pedals. It is the steering thing that is kind of tricky!

After lunch we picked some apples from the apple trees and headed over to feed the horses. This is Savannah and she really liked apples.

This is Savannah getting way too close to me! She was quite friendly!

Mom had to slide this pic in b/c she loves me in my saddle shoes.

The Big Surprise!- Dad (with a little help from Mom) has been working really hard on a scrapbook for Grandma and Grandpa. He sent a letter to all their friends and family asking them to send back letters, emails or cards with their favorite memory/story/well wishes for Jim and Bambi. We got over 50 responses and compiled them into a scrapbook with pictures starting with Grandma's deb ball in Winston-Salem when they had first started dating all the way through now. It turned out great!

Here is Grandpa crying before he even knows what is in the present!

Gma and Gpa would only glance at the book b/c there were lots of people around and they were too emotional. They went through it later on by themselves.

Here's Aunt Ann and Mommy. They are due 3 weeks apart. Yeah for cousins close in age!

The whole Councill fam minus Jay's crew. Happy 40th Jim and Bambi! Here is to 40 more!
