Will loves going to West Virginia for many reasons:
Fishing, for example. This is his first time fishing. He went with his papaw to the pond in the holler (yes, it's really a word to us--I actually just realized not that long ago that not everyone knows what a "holler" is--it's a hollow, in case you were wondering) above the house.
These were taken at one of the ponds on my cousin's property. And if you look closely, you'll notice that Will has a Hello Kitty bandaid on his forehead. After an unplanned run-in with a concrete flowerpot, he insisted on it even when offered something a little less pink. I've always liked men in pink, regardless, and find the juxtaposition of fishing boots and Hello Kitty utterly charming.
When we were home in May, Mom took Will to the greenhouse and he picked out some marigolds. Will has a wee bit of a love affair with greenhouses, especially ones where he gets to see tractors and other heavy equipment.
Speaking of tractors, this is where Will is happiest. I've never been around a little one who loves moving vehicles of any sort any more than Will does.
As much as Will loves being outside and having room to roam out in the country, I suspect that these are the things at home that he likes the most:
