Gun Show Weekend

     This past weekend was our beloved Gun Show in Hillsville, Virginia.  As always, it was a whirl-wind trip as we tried to see and visit with as many family members as possible.  We saw the Hausers Friday evening, spent the night at my dad's that night, then spent all day at the Gun Show on Saturday.  Sunday morning we got up and went to church with my cousin Shad & his family, then had lunch at their home.  We left there, dropped off bread and had a quick visit with some other cousins, then headed down the mountain to eat supper and play at my mom's house.  Whew! 
     Below are some pictures that we took along the way.

Sweet baby Madison, Mark, and Marcus

My Uncle David may seem gruff & tough, but he was sweet & gentle with Marcus.

Aunt Liv made a new playhouse for Marcus

"Peek-A-Boo!"

We tried the whole nap thing in the camper, but the only way he'd fall asleep is if we went for a little walk.

Trying on the protective helmet for logging.

Reading a book with Aunt Liv.

He was super well-behaved this whole day.

We have to detox the day after getting back into town because Marcus is so self-absorbed.  Can you tell why?

Playing baseball in Granddad's front yard.

This is what Marcus would do when Molly got too close.

He got plenty of Uncle TJ time, too.

Walking with Granddad to the tractor

As always - we don't know who enjoyed it better.

The sweet, yet goofy couple

First thing Sunday morning, he wanted to get up and go see Molly, the dog.

Playing with his new matchbox cars from Papa John.

He loved playing on Grandma's yoga mat.

Papa John showed him how to race his cars.

You have big shoes to fill, son.

Yet another book with more family.
