This past weekend was a weekend full of family activities in lower Alabama that most people have never heard of. It all started on Friday with a great trip to a place called Safford. My grandparents have a farm there and this was the location for one of the reunions. As a child I, didn't like to go to reunions because I didn't see the need. Now that I am adult and have a child I see that these are so important because in the end all you have is your family.
Friday afternoon we arrived and we getting unpacked and decided to take Tillie on a ride on the scooter. Tillie has not been on many motorized vehicles so you can imagine how this went. She also met her 1st cow face to face. She didn't really care for it. After we ate, Tillie was playing in the house and I kept hearing her grunt like she was frustrated. So I went to investigate and this is what I found:
She thought that this was a ball and couldn't figure out why she couldn't pick it up.
On Saturday, was the big event at the house. All the children and grandchildren of my great- grandfather were invited to come and fellowship. Many of them showed up and we visited for a while. Tillie and Jackson played in the pool, on the scooter, and anything else that could take them places. The infamous 4-wheeler made an appearance again, but BB didn't have to push Tillie on it this time. There was too many other things to keep Tillie occupied.
After everyone left, some of the men went hunting. Well just 3 of them. Everyone else was too tired. Check out the hunters.
My nephew, Jackson, loves big tractors. While we were there he was able to ride a "BIG TRACTOR". This should be the next Massey Ferguson ad.
On Sunday we traveled over to a little town called Sweet Water. This is where the traditional reunion is held with the entire family. There was not many in attendance this year, but the ones that were had a great time and a great meal.
Overall the weekend was so much fun. We had a wonderful time and can't wait until next year. :)
