Playing Catch Up

In August last year, Ben had a playdate with Abby at Cherokee Dam. They talked and laughed, and laughed and talked. They played in the dirt, and they chased and fed squirrels. It was fun. We'll have to do it again.





The next day Ben went to the Jefferson County Fair for the first time. He played in the petting zoo and got to watch the demolition derby (for future reference, Crash Cars.) It's almost time to go again!

Even though he loved the crash cars, they were loud, and it did scare him a bit. Here he's hiding between Daddy and Mamaw Debbie.

In September, on a trip to Asheville, NC, to visit Abby, we went to the Arboretum to enjoy fall. It's a beautiful place, and we've decided this is where Ben and Abby will marry someday. (Who says arranged marriages don't exist anymore?)

The scenery.

Ben and Abby had great fun getting to run around like little wild children.

They played in rocks....

and enjoyed what nature has to offer.
