Even more adventures

Yesterday LMS got up early to go to the grungy diner for breakfast with Mr Messy, Farm Boy and his friend. The food was good, but not good enough to get up that early again lol. When they got back me, Mr Messy, Cabbage Queen and Little Prince went out to the shops again. Farm Boy's prescription wasn't ready to be picked up at the pharmacy. We went on to a farming shop where Mr Messy bought a Carhart fleece, which looks identical to his Carhart jacket he bought last time we visited lol. He also bought a few John Deere sweatshirts, he feels very 'farmy' now lol. When we were turning back into the drive on the way home we saw a Quad Bike near the creek, so Cabbage Queen went and found the young lad who owned it and invited him and his friend to come shooting with us later, they both said they would be here after lunch. Later on Mr Messy and Farm Boy went to collect NA artifacts friend, who brought along some different guns and his WWI jeep! They had made a whole shooting gallery with cans strung up from a line, various targets and more cans stood on top of things!! At first Drama Teen and the boys were quite shy, but after a while they started chatting, before the older boy took her for a ride on his Quad Bike - she was VERY impressed :-) Although she now knows she has to lift her feet up when they go through the creek, to keep her shoes dry lol. They seemed equally impressed with her shooting ability and model girl looks :-) They have arranged to go out fishing and then shooting again tomorrow :-) Older Boy got a phone call and had to leave to go to work (repainting lines in car parks) - so he's good looking, responsible and a long long way from our home - just the kind of boyfriend I approve of!!!

After quite a LOT of shooting Farm Boy, Mr Messy and NA artifacts friend took LMS out in the jeep. She really enjoyed it, apart from the speed - they were overtaken by the Younger Boy on his Quad Bike!! But she did insist on wearing her Dad's cowboy hat and having her picture taken in the driving seat on their return :-) And she looked VERY cool!!

In the evening we all (minus the boys) went out for a meal, to the same restaurant we went to after the wedding last week. It was a lovely meal again, and the portions were just as huge!! I couldn't believe that nine of us ate and drank for about £60!! Good food, good value, good times :-)

Back at the house I got Little Prince to bed and went over to Cabbage Queen's house to chat with the growed ups :-) Although I was summoned back a few minutes later to deal with a whinging Little Prince!! I settled him again and went back over to the other house, taking one of the radios so that LMS could get me if she needed me!! Luckily she didn't need me again, so I stayed there chatting for ages. It was very dark when me and Mr Messy finally made our way back over to the guest house!!

Not ALL the portions were huge, I definitely ordered an adult size steak (but not the insanely huge one!) but they brought out what I swear was a child sized one! Miniscuuuuuule! Lovely, but tiny. :P
