We had a wonderful weekend,Friday Ben's boss gave him some tickets to the FSU baseball game!  So we found a sitter and Ben, Beau and I headed out to the game.  We had a wonderful time.  Beau was the entertainment of everyone around, she started cheering (yelling Go Gators at the FSU game...), he was yelling at the ref, and calling the game "foul ball'. 

Saturday morning we headed out to the the Red Hills Horse Trials.  This is an Olympic class event that happens every Spring in Tallahassee.  There is Dressage, Cross Country and Event Jumping; we attended the Cross Country Jumping on Saturday morning and had a wonderful time.  This my first attendance- silly I know, being a horse lover I had never been!!  I would highly recommend it.  You can get very close to the jumps and horses.  The horses were AMAZING!!  The kids loved it and we all enjoyed the time outdoors. It was beautiful!  ( I forgot the memory card for my camera and got no pictures, bummer.)
Sunday afternoon after naps we loaded up and headed to the hunting club.  Beau requested a picture with his glasses.


Beau loved fishing, Ben would catch the fish and let Beau reel them up, several got off but we caught 3 brim. 




Check out the smile!


The official Cork watcher.
Avery played with some toys while we fished, but she also watched some fishing herself and was very focused and much quieter than Beau. We may have a future fisherwoman on our hands!

Check out those teeth!!  Pour girl, she has had a very runny nose- the pollen is so bad here.







There is that huge smile again, Beau did this every time he pulled up a fish.


Beautiful Profile!





After fishing we rode around to look at some wildlife.  We busted a large covey of wild quail.  A few years ago there were no quail on the property but after a few quail hunts it seems that the stray quail have regenerated themselves!! We also so 3 wild turkeys which was very exciting.  Turkey season opens next Saturday.  We already have the kids staying at my moms and we will be heading out to chase the turkeys next Saturday!


Bodreaux ran around following the truck and Ben and Beau walked him down to the creek for a drink.  This will be our swimming hole in a few months when it gets a little warmer.




This is Avery's normal stance these days, she wants to crawl so badly but at 16lbs I am not sure she is quite ready to move that chunky body around.  Give her a month and I am sure she will be mobile!




Beau drove us back to the gate, it was a dukes of hazzard experience, he rarely watches the road when he drives and Ben tends to let him steer until we are about to hit something and re-corrects.


Avery road in Beau's in carseat and really enjoyed it- it will be a while before she can face forward, but she enjoyed riding at the hunting club.

With a cool breeze and Beau's bumpy driving she was asleep in no time, still chewing on her toy!
