Headed Home

We have enjoyed our time in North Carolina so much and are not ready to go home tomorrow! Here are some highlights from our trip:


We got to spend time swimming at the very nice pool that belongs to friends of my parents. This was great because our visit was in the middle of a major heat wave!

Alex playing some poolside ping pong with cousin Shannon

We played lots and lots of games.

Doug and Erik playing Cornerstone while Aunt Jodie watches

We visited Treehouse Vineyards and had a nice picnic there, despite the heat.


The treehouse was a bit high for the boys, and it was crowded up there, but they had lots to do down below . . .

like swings to relax on

lots of room to play ball

water to play in

and horses to feed

Most importantly, we just enjoyed the time to take a break from the daily routine and spend time with our family.

It was a great few days, and it went fast. We wish we could stay longer, and we're looking forward to Nana visiting in November.

Tomorrow, eventually, we will make it home to Boomerang Drive!
