Family Reunion

We went to Citronelle, AL for a Turner Family Reunion. Hopefully the FIRST ANNUAL one. We hope that we can make it down to the Farm more often...

But it was a beautiful weekend. We enjoyed GREAT food, the company of family, beautiful scenery, lots of real animals! We saw cows...lots of em! Pigs, roosters (In the trees? A surprise to me!), lots of DOGGIES, a cat with no tail, horses... Maddie picked a pear off a pear tree... no partridges, though...and she picked a Japanese persimmon, and a cucumber. THEN we got to go to the watermelon patch and pick our own watermelons! Maddie learned how to thump watermelons to see if they were ripe. She saw a real scarecrow! (no straw.. only PVC pipe!)

We had a really great time.

  2. Q's grandfather owned and ran it. When he died (mid 1980's) it was closed up... and kind of forgotten. I REALLY wanted to explore inside... but we would have had to break the door. maybe next trip we'll bring a ladder or something and climb in.
