Going On an Adventure

Yesterday was Joey's birthday, and (cousin) Savannah came over to visit, so I thought I'd take some pictures. I noticed that Joey was dressed, um, oddly, and asked him what was up. He said he was going on an adventure. Well, then Savannah and Samuel wanted to "go on a venture, too", so I found them some hats and various objects to sling around their necks, and off they went.

Living in the Ozarks hasn't changed these Florida babies at all.

Nooooo, not a bit!

(They look like Ma and Pa Kettle!)

Here are the adventurers!

Joey, their fearless leader.

Showing off his adventure equipment.

"Farewell, mother. Farewell, Aunt Katie. We know not when, or IF, we will return."

I loved this picture!

Our first discovery! Joey snitched some garlic from the kitchen a few weeks back, and planted it in the woods. It seems to be growing. At least the adventurers will have food!

Our adventurers come across their first obstacle, so they decide to build a bridge.

On to the next adventure...flower picking! Joey, the fearless leader, opts out of such frivolous activity. He has more important things to do, so he leaves this job to his underlings.


I thought this was a sweet picture.

Sweet Sammy.

As the day wore on, the adventurers slowly shed their equipment.

Water... we've found a spring of cool, clear water (water, water)!

Cooling off tired feet!

When my sister-in-law Ashley came to pick up Savannah, Savannah told her mama that she went swimming. Technically, only her toes went swimming, cause that spring water is coooold!

Sometimes, being the big boy isn't all it's cracked up to be. You get stuck hauling around all the stuff the little kids drop.

Finally, the adventurers make it back to Base Camp! I'm not sure what Andrew is doing, maybe playing the part of Big Foot? Or Pestery Older Brother? He's very good at playing that part!


The End!
