Greene Valley Retreat (part 3)

Paxton loved playing with cousins.

My Dad helping mow down the grass.

And in the background is what we call The H house.
This house was here when my Great Grandpa purchased the land. So this is where they would stay before the Lodge was built. My parents even came here on their honeymoon.

Paxton loves to get in Lilo's kennel, it was cute to see them in there together.

We had a blast playing Minute-to-win-it with everyone.

Some of the games were hilarious!

Every night and sometimes even during the day we play lots of card games!

This is one of my favorites because there is always someone to play with.

And last but not least... the long car ride.

It's funny the things kids come up with on their own. Paxton decided it would be fun to put pretzels in between his toes and then eat them. What a silly kid!

Paxton was so excited to finally get some food! And Lilo just enjoying the ride.

Paxton being silly again.

We has a blast at the Ranch, like we always do. It was fun to have Paxton to be able to enjoy it more this year. He loved the long wide empty hallways that he could just run down, yes I said RUN. This kid is getting quick! I think the Ranch is where Paxton started wanting his independence. He always wants to be down and most of the time he won't let me spoon feed him anymore. So things get very messy when he eats things like oatmeal, yogurt and more. He tries to use his spoon and does good for a little bit, but gives up too quickly and uses his fingers. I can't believe how quickly kids grow up, but it is so fun to watch him learn new things everyday.
