North Carolina Part 1

Catching fire flies with Aunt Beth, they actually are really easy to catch.

Coloring with Grandpa

Beth made herself a really cute skirt out of some of the missionary ties that have gone home. She also made one for Tea to match and it is so cute.

While we were in NC it was fun to come up with some WODs with out weights and equipment. Travis was really good at being creative, they had a crazy rain storm and a tree feel over in the neighbor hood. The workers cut it up and threw it to the side of the road and Travis went and picked up three to squat with. The fun part was to weigh them after to see how much they weighed.

Don't mind my sweet face, remember that it is an awkward 60 lbs to squat with. See Brady in the back ground, looks like he is working hard eh? If you have never done good mornings before you wouldn't believe how sore you can get from doing these with just a broom stick, they cripple me every time. We were all really sore for a few days.

Tea loved to play with the wind chimes, and of course Grandpa was more than happy to help out!

We made some delicious grandma Ber caramel apples then dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.

This owl scared Remy for the first few days, he adventually warmed up to it and was willing to share some crackers with it.

We took the chance to drive to Myrtle beach while we were there. Grandma was nice and watched Tea for the day and we all pilled into a vehicle a little to small for all of us. I kept hearing how beautiful Myrtle beach was and was a little disappointed, we were so spoiled in PR that I am sure no beach will ever compare.

The boys had fun burying Aunt Beth. Remy was getting really frustrated when the sand wouldn't cover her feet.

Remy was a little tired and enjoyed a nap on the beach.

We went and got some Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Remy and Husdon were supposed to share, that is until aunt Beth sat next to him with a better flavor option, he is my chocolate boy.

Okay  have you ever heard of the show Diners, dives. and Drive in's. I watched on the food network a few times when we lived in PR so we decided to see if there were any restaurants featured that were on our way home from the beach. We had to drive 45 mins out of our way but we all agreed it was way worth it. They had the yummiest hamburgers and the fried green tomatoes were my favorite.

We had so much fun hanging out with all the family, it was really fun to catch up with Uncle Par and see my kiddos getting to know him again.

Hudson Found this huge beetle at the park we went to for a picnic and smores.

Tea enjoying her picnic!

Grandpa had a hard time getting the marshmallows all over, okay we all did, those huge mallows will do that :)

We really wore out Remy, he doesn't take naps at home anymore because it is such a fight and then he wont go to bed at night. If we were in the car he would say "I am tired I have a little nap?" I would say yes and he would close his eyes immediately and have a nice cat nap. I thought it was funny that he needed my permission to then would go for it.
