A Visit to the Barn


Saturday with a whooping 62 degrees outside and a wind gust of 22knots, the top was taken down off the Jeep and the drive started from our house to St Francisville, LA. First stop.. Wal-mart.. for the hat! Next stop, every redlight onlong the way to the interstate for rebundling of Brookyln. Needless to say, we made it about 20 minutes to North Baton Rouge then had to play chineese firedrill in getto land. With a happier child in the front seat, mom driving and dad in the back the drive was backon.. It was a beautiful day and would have been a whole lot better if the wind would have not had such a bitter bite to it. We made it to the barn! Time for some peace, relaxation, fishing, horseshoeing and fun with Mark's co-workers. Brooklyn's first thing was to go fishing.. poor lil thing, tried so hard, but had no patients to leave the line in the water. She is a master of casting, got that down pack!

Brooklyn drove the jeep on her first off-road adventure with her dad.. did great with an open field and nothing to hit.



The company was fabulous, Mr Alex bought BBQ pulled pork, ribs and chicken. Dinner was delicious.. There was so much food and so little room in my stomach for it. We all had a great time at the barn. I sometimes wish I had some land out in the peaceful country to build a house on. My only requirement is that I don't want to drive 30 plus minutes to civilization to the closest Wal-Mart or Target.

  1. Living in the country requires the wal-mart or Target stores to BE 30+ minutes away :) They are for me!!!
