Boy Heaven

Adam and Andrew had a special treat this weekend -- a mini-vacation! Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kyle invited them to their house in Augusta, where the boys spent two days in Boy Heaven. Lindsay and Kyle are renting a house on a farm until they find a house to buy, and it is an ideal place for little boys to grub around. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

Adam and the resident longhorn

gearing up for fun on the farm

dueling tractors

what would a boys' weekend be without a truck?

exactly the reaction to horses I would've expected from both boys

Uncle Kyle showing the boys all the fish in the pond

the highlight of the weekend: first time fishing! Andrew with his first catch

Adam's first fish

bonus: grubbing around with worms. fishing is awesome.

getting the fish stink off the boys

it's too bad Adam didn't have any fun

Aunt Lindsay styled the boys' hair

not sure what's going on here...

Whew! That was just day one. The next day the boys were treated to putt putt golf, go carts, and a roller coaster. There were movies, cold pizza for breakfast, and probably all kinds of junk food I don't want to know about. Uncle Kyle contemplated eating a cricket or a worm to impress the boys while they fished, but Lindsay and I assured him that the boys' standards were way lower than that. So Kyle contented himself with burping for them. They were suitably delighted.

I asked the boys what they would say to Aunt Linsday and Uncle Kyle right now. In Andrew's words, "I liked fishing, and I liked going on the go-carts." Adam could not be reached for comment as there is a new Scooby Doo showing right now.

THANK YOU, AUNT LINDSAY AND UNCLE KYLE!
