A Super Saturday

We've had a busy weekend and I haven't gotten to doing much blogging, so I'm kind of back tracking.  Forgive any grammer/typing errors.  I'm using my sisters computer and the keyboard is different.  Here is our Saturday in a nutshell!!

Gramma made Camilla a fabulous PB&J Sandwich with a very generous amount of her homemade raspberry jam.  What a lucky girl!! She loved it, as you can tell!

Then, we hopped on the quad and trailer and went to the orchard to transfer some pine trees to another part of the acreage.  My Dad and I planted FIFTEEN of 'em.  It was a fun afternoon.  Camilla loved the quad rides and playing in the water.  At one point she walked right into a freshly dug and mudded tree hole.  Her whole foot was covered, so I stuck her leg in a water bucket and swished it around to get the mudd off.  She then played in the water, and even tried to drink some out of her hat!!

It had only a little bit of dirt in it (ew).  So funny though!!

My dad worked really hard.  He dug out all fifteen holes (except the one that I dug, which was huger than I thought it was, and got the teeniest tree put in it) and all fifteen trees and made the mud mixture and carried the water.  I helped get the pokey trees on the trailer but couldn't really help with much lifting.  I was mostly there for moral support...HaHa

And Camilla, well, she was  LOTS of help as you can tell...

She found the bucket of mud and had a blast making a mess and flinging mud at her auntie Emma (who's name she can pronounce quite well). She'll run around the house going "EMMMMMMMMM-AAAA.." and calling her.  Quite funny.  Gramma came out after she finished pulling carrots and rescued my wet, soggy, muddy little girl and brought her in for some fresh dry clothes.  She had so much fun though.  After she was changed, she came back out and got to enjoy the feel of the grass between her toes and the wind in her hair while we dug up the last four trees. 

She loves being outside and finally loves the grass between her toes.  That's my girl!! I love the grass at the acreage.  It's soft and thistle free and feels great on your feet.  Later on that night we decided to have a fire.  There were some raspberry canes to burn, and the boys....well....they got a little out of hand with the burning....



Mr. Stannix stoking the already huge fire!!



The flames were like a zillion feet high! I've never seen a fire that big before!! Camilla went nutts and was raising her hands in the air trying to reach the tippy tops of the flames.  It was fun.  When the fire calmed down a little, we all enjoyed visiting around the fire and eating smores.  Another favorite thing of mine to do.
