Manda Mumbo Jumbo: Zippity Do Da!!!

Well, as usual for Fall and football season, we have been zipping in and out of town a lot. Besides just going to games, we have been able to spend time in Richmond with Mimi and Yoo-Hoo and Nana and Papa. My dad had a conference and Richmond that coincided with Dreama's birthday and a baby shower for my cousin, Katie. So one extended weekend was spent celebrating and attending all those various events. That was also the grand opening of what I am now tagging as "Zippity Yoo-Hoo Adventure Land". Yoo-Hoo unveiled his latest invention -- a zip line across the backyard for Callie! Callie loves it and woke up one morning while we were there and the first thing out of her mouth was "Car go fast." I couldn't figure out what she was referring to, thinking she wanted to go somewhere, but finally realized she was asking to go out on her zipline because the swing attached to it looks like a car. Again, like the slide that Papa built for the grandkids at the lake, this zip line is not adult friendly and even though I thoroughly enjoy watching Callie ride on it, I have to admit that I am a tad jealous!

Other weekend travels included a trip to Bburg for a game that Michelle was able to drive in for. Callie enjoyed that weekend especially because Aunt Missy brought her dog, Wrigley, with her. Callie and Wrigley loved chasing each other around Ma-maws house. It was the weekend of dogs because Callie also got to see new born puppies that her favorite "mountain" dog, Princess Penny (our name for her) had just given birth to the week before. And speaking of giving birth, Callie and I also drove to Roanoke that weekend for a baby shower for my cousin Ashley who is due to pop later this month. It was great to be around some Worley's again.

Ready?

Set?

Here she goes!

Yoo-Hoo gets his exercise because he has to run after her and hold the rope so that she slows down before hitting the fence on the other side.

Then, he pulls her back across the yard and they start all over again! Usually, Yoo-Hoo is dripping with sweat by the time Callie finally gives him permission to stop.

Going backwards slowly is not nearly as fun, apparently!

Still pictures just don't do it justice so here is a video as well:

Puppies!!! If anyone reading this wants a good mutt (Shepherd-Dauchtsung Mix) these little guys will need good homes very soon. And their momma is precious too!
