Mississippi Weekend!!

Well the Rays had a good ol' Mississippi weekend!!! We have been Mississippi residents for a couple of weeks now but this was our first real weekend without lots to do!! So we took full advantage and had a great time!!!

We started out Friday night with an evening at Papa John and Annie's! So we got a deep dish pizza from a local place... Wise Guys!! It was super yummy and then PJ and Annie gave Brian and me an early anniversary gift!! A little bike cart for Vera Kate!! It is sooo fun!!

The story goes like this... so Annie, Vera Kate, and I were at Target one day this week and we saw these things on the end of an aisle! Brian and I have been wanting to get one because we love riding bikes but when Vera Kate came along it was hard to do! So I thought these little things were expensive well Target had them for $25!! I said WHAT!!!! Anyways, I told mom I should get it for Brian for our anniversary and she said well I need to get yall something so there you have it! I put it together on Friday and then we tried it out on Friday night when Brian got off work!! Once Vera Kate warmed up to it she liked it!! So I see many, many bike rides in our future! We need to get her a little helmet!!!

On Saturday morning we headed to down to our future home, Hernando, for the local farmers market!!

It was so neat and we had a great time walking around and looking at the different things!! They have lots of fun items! One of the most popular is the "milk man"! Apparently you have to get there early because the milk is soo popular! It is straight off the farm milk! We may try it next time! Every one says that you have to try it! At first it kinda grossed me out but it is healthy with no pesticides and stuff so it will really be good for Vera Kate!

There also was a cute little boy selling dog treats for $1 so of course we had to get Bax a few!!

And then we decided to buy a bag of peas! When Brian went up to buy it the little man said... "I picked em on Tuesday, shelled em on Wednesday!!" He said... "you know how they say Folgers coffee is good to the last drop... well these peas are good to the last pea!!" HAHAHA!!
LOVE IT!!

Our stash!!

Saturday night we made a little trip down to our apt pool! Fun times were had by all!!
If you are riding around our apt complex at about 7pm every night you will see this little cutie in her pink car!! Our nightly ritual is a ride to the trash and mailbox!! HAHA!!

After swimming for awhile, we gave Vera Kate a bath and then while Brian was feeding her and getting her ready for bed Baxter and I went out to get a redbox movie!

We picked up what I thought was a good movie and stopped by the local Sonic for a double stuffed oreo blast!! YUM!!!

Well the movie was a TEAR-JERKER and I cried the WHOLE ENTIRE movie! Oh well, it was a definite chick-flick and it was good but SAD! Anyways, I felt like I needed to watch Dumb and Dumber after watching it to change my mood! HA!

Sunday afternoon we invited PJ, Annie and Meme over to help us eat our yummy veggies we had purchased!! I must say it was DELICIOUS!! We had squash, peas, turnip roots, cornbread, mashed potatoes, tomatoes, and corn!! And Annie made peach cobbler for dessert!! YUM-O!!! It was super duper fun!!

While I was making our veggie spread Sunday afternoon, Vera Kate and her dad were making loops around the apt!! She was loaded down! Toys, milk, a cell phone, a sweater, a banana, and lots more all in the cozy coupe with her! She travels prepared! HA!!

Anyways, we are loving MISSISSIPPI!!!!
