Planting with Grandma and Grandpa King

We spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa King's and Noah was able to help plant in their garden for the first time! He loves being outdoors and riding on the tractor, but he discovered a whole new world of digging for a purpose! I can't wait to take him back throughout the summer and let him watch the gourds and pumpkins he planted grow! He loved spending the day there!
Miss Ruby enjoyed exploring and tasting 'new' things... ick... :)

She wanted so badly to sit in this chair... her foot was all that would fit! :)

Um, can I have a smile please??

Surprisingly, Ruby was gentle too.


Crawling in the grass


His favorite thing to do while we're there!



Hey, Papaw, I want to ride too!!
