Tarr Fork, KY

Jay and Brooke Hamilton invited us up to the family cabin in eastern Kentucky. We went last summer too, with Tom and Bonnie, shortly before Sam was born. Joe and Challis White and their girls and Jeff and Cami Winters and Isabella went too. It really is a beautiful peaceful spot.

Max had a whale of a time running shoeless with the kids. They found all sorts of bugs and lizards and snakes and swimming creatures - crawdads I think.



Cute girls and limitless pop - Max is happy.

Corn-holing - Matt's new hobby. He is now building cornhole boards - what a suprise!! Note also the many stray dogs that joined in our weekend fun.

Tired out already

The best night of Max's life. He was so excited to sleep in a tent with his daddy. He couldn't wait to go to bed and was so excited to be there. Matt expected him to be all over the place and crazy but instead he was the perfect little camper. Matt said that he kept thinking Max had fallen asleep but he would look over and he would just be staring up at the cieling looking happy. When he did fall asleep he slept all night long and woke up in a great mood. He opened his eyes, got a huge smile on his face and said "Tent".

Another highlight of Max's trip was the four-wheelers which he also calls "mo-bikes". He would have spent every waking hour on them if he was permitted.

And some sleeping moments too. He fell asleep on the homebound trip both days.

Happy and exhausted is the best state for little boys.
