Paradise at North Dooly Plantation

Ben has so been holding out! Who knew that the family's "old hunting farm" would be so awesome!!!


Our home away from home....





Snacks on the back porch!





Early evening fishing....




Taylor riding the horse! What a great find!!!




Morning, folks!!




I love this shot of the boys as I drink my coffee from the rocking chair!!





Ole faithful Guinnie swimming in the pond. Thankful for every cold dip!





Mommy and Taylor pretend to go "out boat", as Will practices his fishing techniques.





Turner playing with the worms. A boy's dream vacation! Lake, boat, worms and snacks.




Morning fog sets in as Taylor arrives outside with a pink bear he found in the house. Wonder which Slade cousin left it?




Will and his coon hat trying out the boy's bike. Love that kid.



Turner trying to catch a fish, but almost catching him " a daddy".


Our view of the house from the woods. It is more beautiful than this picture shows. Heavenly!!!



We are back from our golf cart ride. Ole Jackson followed us halfway around the property until I scooped him up and made him ride in the golf cart with us. Here he is taking off as he whistles " I am free!!"


Jackson was in pure heaven!!!


Just another view of Scarlett's home.....


Snacking on the stairs....



Who would have thought splashing in an old cooler would be so much fun???

"Fishing" with an old Pepsi plastic bottle!

Just another boat ride.


T and T learning how to drive the four wheeler early!


Posing on the 4 wheeler!!!


Momma and Taylor!

Turner "fishing" with the big boys.


Another picturesque view of the homestead.

Mr. Independent!




Relaxing after a hard day's fishing!
Smores...need i say more? Of course, Tay was the first one to be present!

Look who found us out in the country?

Eggs and all....


Easter basket goodies!!!


Bugs!


Candy galore!!!


A new Thomas book....

Night-night!!!














































































SSI

Nothing can be sweeter than cousin playtime in SSI!!!
Turner, Kelly and Elizabeth play in the ole fire truck!


Elizabeth, Taylor, Turner, Zoe, Ella, Jack, Kelly and Anna after a day at Granny and poppy's pool. Missed you Webster girls!!!!


Taylor and Elizabeth....









Gracious Good Friday

It was Good Friday and we wanted to wear out the boys before our trip down South. The Children's Museum seemed like a great idea until we arrived to find out that half of Charleston was there because the schools were closed. Whoops.


T and T shopping at Publix.




T and T playing on the pirate ship. Notice the car that Turner has in his hand. This was bribery to get him to leave the water table room so I could watch them both at the same time without running between rooms.




Turner holding tightly to his car. It was snagged once in the water room and he wasn't letting it loose again.




Twins, but oh, so different.




Chickfilia for lunch!!!!




Turner was too tired to eat!!!
















Boo and Gan's Easter

Life is so much sweeter with Boo and Gan around. They love holidays as much as me. Every holiday must have their own day just for Boo and Gan. Boo had planned this awesome Easter egg hunt for the boys. A special thanks to their lunch guest who helped fill the eggs. LOL at that sight.

Taylor running for the goodies. aka: the food.




Turner wanjted to get as many eggs as he could find.



Taylor ate more than he gathered. Excuse the outfits. We had to distract them by making them take a bath so Boo Bunny could do her hiding.



Turner was counting his eggs... 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Taylor was taking marshmellows from his.



Look at that clever Boo Bunny.




Eggs on the boat!!!



Gan and Aunt "She-She" help Taylor find one that he is missing.




Easter basket time.... Thanks you Boo and Gan. You both out-did yourself again. Boo, great job shopping and Gan, great job paying the bills. : )
