Another Trip to Hagood Mill

We had such a great time at Hagood Mill the first time, we made plans to return the next month while they were having Kid's Fest. This time Buck was able to go with us.

Grammie and Papa met us there with Katie and Caden. They all had a blast together! It is funny how Katie and Phoebe love to play together, but Phoebe tends to pair off with Caden a lot. Blaine and Caden love to play together, but Blaine tends to pair with Katie because she likes to hang out with the "older" girls.

This gentleman and his wife are always there. She whittles canes...he carves figures/faces in wood and whittles spoons. Not only does he make them - he plays them too! Man, was it a hoot watching him teach Grammie and Papa how to play them. Papa laughed a lot. the guy made fun of them which made it even better. I could have stayed there all day listening to him make fun of them for not doing so well! :)

Really? Don't we get enough exposure to these at home? Do we really need to spend time with more of them here?

This guy was making bows.....so of course Buck (and Papa) hung out here quite a while. Blaine found him quite interesting too.
