Down on the Farm

Quick random pic of Hudson playing his cousin, Mary's guitar. I just thought it was cute!I have been in the Buie family for 15 years and have heard so many stories about their relatives who live on a farm in Winchester, AR. Robbie and his dad hunt there. Well, today I went to Winchester to see it for myself. I'm not very outdoors-y....unless you are talking about laying out at the pool or the beach! But, I have to admit I had a good time!
The farmland we visited was just beautiful!
The kids thought throwing rocks into the river was SO much fun! Are we city people or what?! They didn't want to quit!
We had to drive across this part of the river to get to Papa's deer stand. The kids were really excited about it!
I found the concept of the duck blink really entertaining. There is a bleacher-type seat under all this straw. It is long...would probably seat 5-6 men. I just got this vision of them sitting on this bleacher seat should to shoulder...with serious faces...holding their guns staring at the sky for hours....they suddenly busting up through the top firing away the first time they spot a duck. Almost like a Jack-in-the-Box! Just cracked me up!
They farm cotton on this land....and this cotton picking tractor is about the same size as my house...not much exaggeration! It was mind boggling huge!
