In the morning we drove to my uncle’s place near Troy, Alabama, stopping along the way for bathroom trips and lunch. He owns fifty-three acres there, and it is fun to explore with my siblings. Our cousin, Michael, lives there too, and he let us drive their lawn mower. We also got to shoot my uncle’s BB gun from the deck of his house. Our target was a piece of wood we put on the grass with a soda can and water bottle on it. I managed to hit the water bottle and soda can. We had a barbecue for dinner and then a bonfire. It is so much fun! The place we stopped to get lunch at was called Heaton Pecans. It was a quaint little place, very pretty, and I think it was owned by a Christian, because there were signs hanging all over the place with Bible verses on them. Most of the things that they sold had pecans in it; there were even pecans in the ice cream!
