The most anticipated visit of the year and a great way to end one year and start another: A visit by the Rohrbaugh’s!
I am not sure what they really thought of Alabama but we gave them a true Alabama experience in just a few days! The kids were thrilled and played together NON-STOP for 5 days! They rode 4-wheelers, shot guns, played football, basketball, video games and card/board games, and hide and seek in the dark! We took them to see chicken houses, a cotton field, the world famous Boll Weevil monument, and where we will build our house plus all the crazy things we have talked about for 4 years while living in Maryland right down the road from them. We saw each other sometimes every day and then had to move away so it was wonderful to see them again. Carey and I talked and talked and talked. Dennis and Scott did manly things like hunt and grill. Dennis took Scott hunting several times for hogs, deer and quail. Scott shot the first pig and a few quail. Dennis shot another pig and more quail. No deer to be found. Dennis and Scott cleaned Scott’s pig and then they grilled/smoked it for New Years Eve. We rang in the new year twice (eastern and central time zones). Once at Dennis’s parents outdoor shelter where we played games and watched football (of course) and the New Years Eve shows. Then we got the kids ready for bed in time for the Central time zone new year and off we went to bed. Early the next morning they left for Maryland with just a few tears this time :)
