Vacation Bible School And Charlotte

 We have enjoyed our week with G-Mama and cousins Robert and Wilson. We spent our mornings at Vacation Bible School at Sardis Presbyterian, and our afternoons hanging out at home (mostly) and enjoying impromptu jam sessions on their homemade instruments, watching Wipeout episodes and transforming those 5 gallon buckets that were drums the day before to obstacles in their backyard Wipeout reinactments! Friday afternoon I took the boys to see the new Planes Fire and Rescue movie and they enjoyed that. Thursday afternoon the kids and I drove to Newton, NC to visit Great Granddaddy and the kids loved seeing him and playing in the backyard. the kids are going to visit Nana and Grandaddy for the week, then I will pick them back up on Friday to head back to Southwest Florida. I think August 18 will be here before we know it and they will be starting 5th grade and 1st grade! I have been able to get lots of back to school shopping completed while I have been in North Carolina. I am hoping that the only thing left to buy will be the class school supplies.

Robert, Wilson, and Vince enjoyed the blow up sprinkler ball in G-Mama's front yard one afternoon



Savannah about to do an art project at Vacation Bible School on Thursday morning

Coco enjoyed her time with Hal and Mark's golden retrievers. They would growl at her and she would lick their teeth. I think one of them finally snapped and she quit harassing them!


Vince and Wilson hanging out on the front porch of the Duke Mansion. My sister in law is working on a landscape architecture project there.

Uncle John always seems to have lollipops and other candy hidden in his sleeves and socks when he arrives!

Hal and Mark gave Jewell some Chapel Hill Vodka for her birthday. They all tasted it and said it wasn't very good.
Homemade Orange Crunch Cake, similar to the Bubble Room in Captiva. It was a hit!


Vince rocking out with his bandmates. Their set included Family Tradition by Hank Williams Jr.
Rockstar Wilson!

He looks more like Conway Twitty singing "Hello Darlin'...." in this picture
Vince was dressed and ready for church in his new "fancy" shorts and new tennis shoes.
