We had a good trip to visit our Families. Lots of yummy food, hilarious laughs, some aggravation(won't go there*), and wonderful memories were made.
First stop was middle of the Boonies. Aka The In Laws.
Amish are neighbors.
Miles of dirt road.
Horse poop.
Did I mention middle of the boonies?
Yes? Ok then. Just wanted you to paint the mental picture :)
ah, smell the manure...
Onto good smelling things!
I made Dressing, Baked Mac n Cheese, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole, and had help thankfully making the Pumpkin, and Pecan pies. Thanks Sissy K! :)
The Highlight of Lou's trip to Boonies was Uncle D taking us on a Horse and Buggy ride. The in laws have horses and they wanted to go riding. I do not ride, neither do my babies. So thankfully we buggy-ied on down the road.
Get it boogied/buggy-ied?!
You can LOL if you want.
Ser-is-lee! Go head!
Triple dawg dare ya. It'll make you feel better.
Oh ya back to boonies and manure.
The in laws and My Man rode horses. Let's just say it was a very eventful ride. For them. The buggy boogied on by. An hour trip took about 3 :) The horse My Man rode was slower than slow, which is slow. Dontcha know.
Several Amish wanted to drag race but we declined.
Unfortunately our Buggy Horse Dolly was a wee bit gassy.
Sorry Dolly, don't mean to embarrass you. :) shewww wee.
Girl, you need some bean-o.
We stayed the night in the boonies and went to My Hometown the next day.
No place like Mommas <3. Momma made traditional turkey feast for lunch. I made dressing, pumpkin, and pecan pie.
And Oreo dirt balls.
So yummy you'll smack somebody!
Or however that redneck saying goes?
Insert LOL here. Blog rules! Kthnx
Then we played games and enjoyed 1456 kids running around like wild yayhoos. No not really. Just 5. Until dinner then the number almost doubled.
Let's see... 1456x2=someNumber
Oh sorry I meant the 5 almost doubled. 5+4=9 A++

And yes we are a nicknaming family. Dontcha know. My Daddyo gave the best nicknames.... Sigh. MISS HIM.
Ah put on a happy face! :-)
Back to the tale of 4 dinners 3 pounds gained... Dun dun dunnnnnnn.
Scary huh?
My waistline is/was terrified.
My mouth on the other hand sampled every pie and dessert it saw.
No fear a'tall.
A pity really.
A yummy pity albeit.
Very yummy.
Mmm turkey and dressing. Gram's dessert, pumpkin roll, dirt ball, pumpkin pie, brisket... And the list goes on... Feed me!
For dinner at Mommas we had Brisket, Baked Taters, Baked Beans, rolls, and some more sides I forgot about..
#forgetfulblogger.
Then we had a Chili Dinner at Uncle J's house for Mommas side of the family. Saw cousins I hadn't seen in years. Saw chocolate chip cookies I missed dearly also. Yum.
Ah highlight yumminess. Deer summer sausage from my eldest Bub.
Delish!!
Bacon wrapped fried deer tenderloin. Wow. Drool. From my second eldest Bub. Delish!!
Can't believe I forgot to take plate pics?!?!

Ser-is-lee who needs a good belch after all that food talk?! :-)
insert LOL now.
Wow. Totally forgot about my madly awesome target practice hair spray can killin time!
Shot the can my first try. I won't tell you I missed every other shot.
Shh don't tell. My Man, Me, Sissy K, and D went target practicing a little. Fun fun!
Also if you have trained eye and saw the * by aggravation. Read here. If you didn't see it read anyways. Hilarious! Heard someone explain what it means to be aggravated and bite you tongue so you don't say anything. Which I did a little scratch that. Alot of. :) so anyways. You stick your tongue out and say "dee dy dongue ith deeding" translation- "see my tongue, its bleeding" hilarious! Maybe you hadta be there. How many of you readers just stuck your tongue out, bit it, then tried to say what I typed? Raise your hand! :)
