4th of July Getaway

This year for July 4th we headed down to our family farm in West Virginia. My dad's side of the family owns 200+ acers of National Forest in Elkins WV. We left on Thursday afternoon and stayed through Sunday. Here are some pictures of our weekend getaway. Below is how Avington started off her first 4th of July... sleeping waiting on the fireworks to start.
She loved the fireworks! She clapped, laughed and squealed in excitement!
She was getting a bit restless between the waking up and waiting, so we bribed her with Cheeto's. That is what the orange is all over her face, hands and sweatshirt.

Happy 4th of July with Papaw and Mamaw
Earlier in the day we went to the "Safari" down town. Here are some pics

Pony Rides

First 4-wheeler ride. She loved it! Charlie said she was just talking away and then fell asleep while she was riding along.
We had a great time! It is so nice to get away as a family. We both think Avington will be an outdoor's girl. My uncle Sam made a joke that next time she comes she will be fishing, playing in the creek and using a chainsaw!
