Boys playing

Friday afternoon we went to my aunt and uncle's house so J could play with a couple boys near his age--a cousin and the cousin of a cousin.  That's how we roll in a small town, when both sides of the family are from the same place.  We grow up knowing not just our cousins, but the cousins of our cousins from their other side of the family. 

 Naturally if it's fall, there's got to be some time playing in leaf piles!

They discovered the old well.

 Uh oh!  Here comes Great-Uncle Stanley/Papa!

 Oh OK, after he talked to us about the well, he got in on our light saber fight.

 And then D, J's daddy, got in on it too.

 I love this picture because it looks like J has picked his daddy up off the ground. lol

 Cousin Leslie throwing the ball to J, while his daddy helps him at bat.

 Rolling down the hill in the house where his great-grandparents lived (and now his great-aunt and uncle live there.)  He hasn't quite got the rolling-down-a-hill thing, but he's getting there!

 Posing a couple of 3 year old boys who just finished a long session of playing?  Not easy.

 Cousin K had his finger in his ear, so J decided to do it too!

 After we went back to NaNa's house, J and I spent some time outside visiting with the horses.  We pulled grass and J practiced feeding them out of his hand. 

 And there was some kitty-loving happening too.
