We spent the day at the Barckley Emergency Compound in Cullman. Should the apocalypse occur, or the Democrats have complete control of all 3 branches of national government, the Barckley family is to retreat into the hills of Cullman for preservation of our way of life. There is a camper, generator, and plenty of hunting and fishing. Also, we are just minutes away from shopping. (The Country Mall Convenience Store and Hardware counts as shopping, right?)

Everyone with a toddler needs some acres out in the middle of nowhere. A place to turn the child lose and just let them go...

Prospecting for gold in them hills.
No paydirt here.

Brushing the dirt off her hands

MeMe sure is good at finding the rocks. I think she has had plenty of practice.

Sam having some fun growing them muscles

Look at all that fuzzy hair!

His head feels like a velour tracksuit. You wish your head was so Jersey.

He looks pretty pleased with himself...getting all the ladies.

What is he looking at?

He is keeping an eye on that toddler. You can't trust them!

Daddy had to steal the baby for a few minutes. They are looking even more alike...

MeMe and PopPop had set out a trap with a hotdog in it to catch raccoons. Elliott seems to have caught something trying to steal the hotdog...

Either he is wore out or he ingested some of the OFF spray

Elliott and PopPop playing with TaranI wonder whose chubby little legs those are...Checking out the bench to make sure it is of the highest quality.I love Alabama!
So you get the full effect...that is Kitty, the teacup pup, at Andrew's feet. An Alabama man needs his land, guns, trailer, freedom, baby and teacup pup. I wonder if there is a barefoot and pregnant woman in that trailer.... (NO, there is no one inside an no one is pregnant!)Elliott thinks it to be polite to pass gas on family. It is a nice thank you for feeding her.

She is very interested in the turtle. Of course we told her that when they grow up they become Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And my husband is so talented that he finds the only crippled turtle in Cullman county. Yep, he only has one arm and is on dis'bility. I think he winked at her.
Borrowing Taran's fashionable cowgirl hat

Loving those rib bones. Just like the dog, you give her the bones once you are done eating off of them. She doesn't mind.
