Aunt Audra and Uncle Linn came all the way from Utah to the SEC Championship game in Atlanta. Alabama was playing and Alabama won! They came to see us before heading back to Utah. Audra brought all the children Alabama shakers and red and white necklaces. Needless to say, I think Seth and I are the only Auburn fans left in the house.
The girls think that Aunt Audra is the coolest aunt ever! They made her swing off the limb of the tree to be initiated into their tree club house. This was Jeana's first time meeting Aunt Audra and she told her mom that night, "I never knew Laurel and Savannah had such a pretty, young aunt!" She did all kinds of flips on the trampoline and stood on her head and she can still do a back hand spring! Yeah, she was pretty much showing off!!!! I said, "please, you are making me look bad!" I really love that they think she is so cool and that she spent so much time with them. It breaks my heart that we live so far away from each other.
The next day, the girls went to school and we once again hit the woods and went for a walk. The weather was 75 degrees. Melanie and her family were still living with us at this time so it was so much fun for Melanie, Audra and I to all be together again. We laughed and told stories all day. Melanie can remember everything from our childhood. It is amazing how she can recall stories and silly songs. I love listening to her.
Landon is such a man's man! He still calls Uncle Linn, bubby. He followed him around all day.
Don't snakes hibernate in the winter? Oh yeah, I forgot. We are in Alabama and the weather is 75 degrees in November. As soon as we came out of the woods, we heard Molly barking. We knew she had some animal held captive and then we saw this snake. It gave me the creeps that we had just walked all through those woods. There is no telling how many snakes we walked past. YIKES!!!! So, not only do the girls think Aunt Audra is cool, but so does Landon! That crazy girl got a long stick and killed the snake, which we found out later was a cotton mouth! The snake was moving really slow. I guess it was on its way to hibernation. Landon stood right there and watched the whole thing. He still talks about that, "hey mommy, remember when Aunt Audra killed that snake, huh?" He adds "huh" to the end of everything.
The night before they left they treated us to barbeque ribs! I mean come on, who comes to the south and doesn't eat some barbeque! It was a great short visit and I think my sis is pretty cool too!
