An adventure with the boys

I am so thrilled that the weather is started to warm up and get nice (actually, as I'm sitting here typing, it is raining pretty hard right outside my window - oops!).  Yesterday was such a beautiful day, however, that I convinced my sister to take her two boys out for a photo adventure.

We drove around Henry county for a little while before finding this great spot seen below.  The wall that Niall is standing beside looks like a support for an old bridge.  Now it has graffiti written all over it.  Wilson, my other nephew, read the word "Shannon" on it (my niece's name), and Niall proclaimed to us all that we were taking photos by the "Shannon River."  We were, in fact, my a smallish river, but I'm pretty sure it's name is not the one Niall was suggesting.

Nevertheless, our adventure was a lot of fun.  

The following image is one of my favorite moments - completely candid!  Here, Niall is reacting after having grabbed a nearby branch with leaves on it, thinking he had just touched the dreaded "leaves of three."  He said to me, "Aunt Jenny, I think this is poison ivy."  To clarify, he had previously been referring to the bare branches behind him in the photos as also being poison ivy.  ;-)
