Isaac found a basket of dirt in a shady spot of the yard perfect for digging in the dirt!
Once the novelty of that activity wore off he wondered back to the drive way and found something else to get into.
He picked up an empty planter pot that was full of rain water and dumped it out all over him. He was a muddy mess and overcome with giggles at the same time. Aunt Clara turned the garden hose on to rinse him off and Isaac thought that was the best part!
Once the water was turned off he was determined to play with the garden hose. He can certainly be a determined little boy when he wants to. He's also a strong little guy too! He pulled the garden hose all the way over to the tree so he could "water" it.
Then we decided to get the soccer ball out and play with it a bit. When that wore off it was time for bubbles. He loves chasing bubbles. It was great fun until the boo-boo. Isaac was chasing bubbles, not looking where he was going, tripped over his soccer ball and dove head first into the concrete driveway.
That was the end of our morning fun. He had a nice purple knot that popped up almost instantly. We went inside and iced it down for a bit. Had some lunch then it was nap time. Once Isaac finished his nap we went back out side to take advantage of the open space for him to run around in.
Spending time visiting was a wonderful day to spend the afternoon. It was so nice to sit under the shade tree and look out on the wide open space of the farm land below. Isaac loved being able to run around and explore. Every little boy deserves the opportunity to run, jump and climb. The split rail fence was the perfect spot to climb on and take a short rest.
He climbed up....then down...then up again....
I really enjoyed our visit. It was only for a couple of days but it was so nice to catch up. Sitting in the tall grass watching Isaac run around and play was wonderful. He and his great aunt Clara had a great time tickling each other. It reminded me so much of childhood summers where the time is slow and the days are long.
Spending time with Clara is so reminiscent of times spent with my grandma. Clara even made a beautiful baby quilt for Isaac that's perfect for his new room. I just love to see all the beautiful hand crafted quilts she's made. I remember sitting with my grandma as she would sew quilts by hand in the evening. It's just so lovely to have a craft, a creative outlet and something that's handmade.
Before we knew it, it was time to pack up and hit the road and move on to our next destination. We left Tennessee bound for Alabama to visit Nana and Grandpa for a few days. Isaac was a trooper on our road trip and only had a couple of melt downs on the way to Alabama. The drive from Tennessee was more difficult on me than I anticipated too. This pregnant belly just keeps getting bigger and I'm carrying lower so sitting for long periods is becoming more difficult!
Not long after we arrived little man was worn out and ready for bed. It didn't take long before he was fast asleep!
