The Battle of Collierville

Gary was wanting to go watch the reenactment of the battle in Collierville.  I THOUGHT it all started at 2 but it all started around 9am and we didn't get there until 2:30 and missed the reenactment.  I felt bad because I thought I was pushing to get there at the right time...WRONG.  Oh well we walked around and checked out a few of the sites that were set up.

Davis was on his WORST behavior (which seems to be his thing these days...tsk tsk).  He wanted to roam free and get in to as much as possible.  I was told there was poison ivy around so I was in freak out mode...I do not want to deal with that if I don't have to.  Needless to say he would show his "sweet" side if we tried to pick him up or steer him in a different direction...He's gonna learn that MOMMA's way is the only way! :-)

He's ready to get down...

He started off good...just checking out the cannon...

Now he is taking off...

Almost took down someones tent

Not happy that Daddy picked him up

and he's off again...

This is what poor Gary had to do the majority of the time :-)

On his adventures out in the open fields he ran into a little girl and her grandfather.  He couldn't pass up the chance to give her a hug.

and he hugged...

and hugged...Gary had to pry him off her.  She was a good sport, letting this random roamer hug her for SOOOOO long. hahaha

Lemonade break - we had to coax him somehow :-)

He is such a big boy - he thinks he can do anything and doesn't understand boundaries.  Of course we laughed at him the majority of the time while trying our hardest to control him (he didn't see our laughing or that would have been encouragement).  Until the next adventure! :-)
