Life Less Ordinary

We were in NC for about a month and it was pretty much one good time after another.  You'll remember we left to get away from the smoke and heat.  Piper did really well once we got out of town and her daily meds kicked in.  I can't pretend it wasn't hot though BUT... air conditioning makes a big difference.  Anyway, we enjoyed our time tremendously and I'm so grateful to my parents for letting us crash for so long.  I even got to sneak away for a week to visit James.  (I'll cover that part of the trip in a later post.)

A few highlights... Oh!  I'll cover the 4th and Tweetsie Railroad in separate posts too.

The "man cave" is pretty much a wonderland for these kids.  I think every afternoon when Paw-Paw came home from work they ran running and screaming to greet him and then immediately started with the "Paw-Paw can we go downstairs???"

Bella's side of the basement is pretty fun too.  Beads and rocks and string....oh my!

We watered the grass...

Then the boys cut the grass.

 

They patiently waited for a furry friend to finish his dinner...



Our friend Emily's dog Huckleberry.

Or maybe not so patiently.

And we got to visit with Emily too!

There were girls days...


at the nursing home with Maw-Maw painting our fingernails.



And boys days...

they are cleaning out the radiator for our car.

There was even a little fender bender.  (I was running an errand in my mom's car and got rear ended.)

But mostly we did this...

And even more of this...

We had so much fun.  Thank you for letting us come to play!  But wait there's more....
