This past weekend we drove upstate to Will's Dad's house in Angelica, NY. It's a 6 hour drive to his beautiful 50 acres. There is so much to do there, even though it's so country. A river runs through his property which is pretty cool, he has a big barn, quads and a golf course across the street. Charlie had so much fun. It was really nice to just let him wander around without having to worry about him getting into trouble or too close to the road. His favorite thing to do was ride the quads so you'll see in almost all of the pictures, he's on one. You seriously couldn't go near one with out him chasing after you to give him a ride, and if you didn't give him a ride he had a melt down. It was pretty cute to see him explore everything and be totally fearless about what he was doing. He was waving to all the bugs, which there were a lot of, and digging in the dirt and doing all the great stuff little boys can do in the wilderness. We had a rough night the first night we were there, we think it was too much excitement in a strange place because Charlie didn't go to sleep until 3am. The next couple of nights were fine once all the excitement calmed down. He had a lot of fun playing with all of Will's little brothers and sisters too, they also made great extra eyes to keep on Charlie. Well here are the photos......................
The first night we were there Will got a BBQ grill so we could have some hamburgers and hot dogs, Charlie helped put it together.
Here is where the quading begins, I just about had a heart attack when I saw Charlie back there like that, so from that moment on he sat in front with one of Dad's arms around him. I may be paranoid but geesh they could have hit a bump and he could have fell off and got his pea head ran over.
It's hard to see but way off in the distance in the field they are riding.
You can see them a little better here.
Here they come!
There they go down the road towards the golf course.
And they're back again......
And here they go again..........
Charlie was very happy to be there.
We also took trips down to the river to take a dip.
The water was really cold, so Charlie was a little hesitant about going in.
Dad tried to coax him in, but he wasn't having it.
So he was set down to sort out the rocks, which kept him occupied for a very long time.
He made quite a big pile of good rocks and bad rocks. Unfortunately his fun at the river came to an end when a little critter, some type of worm I guess, got into his shoe and bit him 2 times. We thought he slipped and twisted his ankle because he was frantically grabbing his foot but once we got his shoe off, Will said he saw a little worm in there and poor Charlie had 2 little bite marks on his foot. Poor little buddy.
When we got back from our long drive home we had some pasta for dinner................
This is what happens when Charlie eats pasta all by himself......
What a mess!!!
Until next time....ta ta!
