Cookout in Ider

Matt's dad lives in Ider, Alabama. They invited us to come down for a big cookout on Saturday. We decided to ride with Josh and Sheri and drive down Friday after work to stay the night. Tim and Angie had gone to get Ashton and Hunter so they weren't home when we got there. The guys, Josh and Matt, went swimming while we waited on everyone else to get home. When they arrived we all went inside to catch up on what is going on in everyone's lives, snack a little,
show off pictures and watch the kids play. One by one we all starting heading off to bed. I think the guys stayed up late talking but the kids and the girls hit the sack. In the morning Tim fixed a wonderful breakfast! Jenna helped him fix eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits. We hung out around the house some and then it was outside for the rest of the day. The cookout was great! There were about 40 people there and plenty of delicious food. All the kids went swimming, including Josh and Matt! They had a blast. Jenna loves the water. And Ashton jumped into Elijah's arms 100 times.

They have lots of animals there too. And of course Jenna loved that. We saw the hunting dogs, and the many many cats, and fed the horses apples from the apple tree. Jenna would try to call the cats to her by clicking her tongue. It was so cute.












It was a fabulous day! The only complaint we had was the flies! But spending time with family made it all worth it.
