"The Farm"

Courtney's Mamaw grew up on "the farm" with her 11 brothers and sisters. Some of Mamaw's siblings and their grown-up children still live on the property. Courtney remembers going to "the farm" to visit and play when she was younger. It was always so much fun to run around and explore with her Mamaw. Since we've been married and Mamaw passed away, we've visited a few times but Carter has never been. Courtney's mom put together a little get-together with the Loy/Derreberry family on Sunday, September 12th at "the farm". It was nice to visit with all of Courtney's relatives that we rarely get to see... and meet new relatives that we've never seen! Carter had so much fun playing by the lake. It made Courtney a nervous wreck that he was just going to jump in the water. He's such a dare devil! We took Carter for a ride on the paddle boat and he absolutley LOVED it! Thanks Grammy for planning a fun day for the family!
Carter checking out the water.
The water was completely muddy due to all the rain we got the day before!

Carter enjoyed throwing acorns into the lake.

Our best attempt at a group shot!

Going for a ride on the lake!

Carter had a BLAST! (although you can't really tell from his face in this picture)

Carter with Aunt Jeni- Doesn't he just look so cute in his little life vest?
Check out those boo-boo knees! He was running around and tripping over everything!

The Taylors going out for a ride!

Mandi, Owen, and Aaron also took the canoe out on the water.
