Visit with Tom and Ginny

Dottie has a great aunt and uncle (Tom and Ginny) that live in Lakeland, Florida. Today we went to there house to visit.

They have orange trees in there back yard, so the boys got to pick some. Mommy also got to go with Uncle Tom to a Farmer's Market to get some fresh fruits and vegetables really cheap. It is weird getting fresh fruits and vegetables this time of year, but everything right now is different from what we were use to in North Carolina, especially the weather.

The boys had a blast picking oranges, but the best part of all was spending some time with family. We miss that!!!

Landon enjoyed helping Uncle Tom put the oranges in the bucket.

Landon liked to pull an orange as hard as he could to get it off the tree. Eventually he would let go, fall on his bottom and laugh and laugh.
Here is Will holding a bucket of grapefruit. He was such a big helper.

Daddy and the boys had a great assembly line, which made the picking go really fast.

How wonderful for all of you that you were able to spend time with your FL family. I know they loved seeing you as much as you enjoyed visiting them. It's great that the boys enjoy all activities, "work" and play. It doesn't matter if they are picking oranges or playing in a fountian at Disney. Chad can get those boys organized to accomplish anything faster and better. Will has gotten sooo strong lifting that big bucket of oranges. He has always been a great help. I love that Landon enjoys laughing at himself even if he is falling on his behind. What a clown! Enjoy that warm weather! I'm counting the days until you visit NC.
