Memorial Day at the Lake

We all had a great time relaxing at the lake this Memorial Day thanks to our gracious friends. Kate fell off the dock into the water (of course she had her life jacket on) and handled it like a pro and didn't panic at all. With a little practice, Shields got fairly good at driving the Sea Doo...and Kate soon got over her fear of the Sea Doo, and enjoyed riding it, too!

Happy Birthday Caterina!

Shields, Kate, Cedar & Mommy's hike at KM Battleground

While Tom was off at a golf outing today, I took the kids (and Cedar) to their favorite local hiking spot at the Kings Mountain Battleground. Shields LOVES to race to the markers and have me read to him about the soldiers, and the Loyalists and the Patriots, and pretends he is shooting from behind the trees. Kate loves the monuments, and always says "They are so HUGE, mommy!". They both love to hike and exercise outdoors, so I look forward to taking them to some new hiking spots that they can explore. Their absolute favorite part is making it to the top, and getting to have a juice box and snack! They have no trouble keeping up with me, though, and are really improving their endurance....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!

A little birthday wish for the favorite uncle...
