So two weekends ago, while I was at a board retreat, Clay and Gavin went and drove a tractor. It has an enclosed cab so I wasn't worried about him falling off and apparently they had quite a big time! Clay said Gavin was silent for an entire hour, which is unheard of. Below are some pictures of him after they put the tractor back up.
Pretty sure this is him eating dirt that he took off the tire :-).
And it looks like he is saying "Shhh. Don't tell Mom"
And then last weekend we decided to pack a picnic lunch and went to Langdale Park so he could explore in some real woods. Let me tell you he had so much fun, I don't think he sat down the entire time we were there except for when he sat down in the mud right by the water.
We attempted to eat lunch first but Gavin was so distracted and slow we decided to let him just eat as he went. He kept tripping on all of the tree roots with his peanut butter sandwich in his hand, so I am afraid he got more sand in his belly than bread or peanut butter.
After this his shorts were wet and nasty so we took them off and just let him play in his diaper. It was such a pretty day out there and thankfully the shade of the trees made the heat much more tolerable. If it hadn't been for the gnats, I think we could have stayed out there a lot longer.
Below is him running and trying to eat at the same time.
And of course the subsequent fall with his sandwich being mashed into the sand.
My dirty little angel
We wanted to walk some trails but Gavin did NOT want to ride in his stroller and seemed perfectly content exploring around the picnic areas.
This past weekend, we finally got to go to the Farm Days downtown, but I didn't get any pictures. There really wasn't any picture opportunities and after we bought Goat Milk Soap, Peach Jelly, Homemade Salsa, and Local Honey, we decided it was probably time to go. Gavin had a great time getting samples at all of the stands.
