Skate Party, Heading to the Mountains
Today we are starting our summer vacation in earnest! Brian had a birthday party for his friend Hudson at United Skates of America this afternoon, and following that, we started our trek out to the mountains for Day Out with Thomas at Tweetsie Railroad tomorrow. The kids are sure excited to stay at a hotel this evening, and had a fantastic time packing their new suitcases for the trip! We arrived pretty late, around 10:30pm, so I’m sure they will be tired tomorrow, but maybe the...
Read MoreRosemary’s Retirement Party
Today was my mom’s retirement party at Zebulon Elementary! We couldn’t miss this occasion, so we left work early, picked up the kids, and headed out to Z-town. For once, we weren’t late!! We met up with Rosemary at the office and got signed in, checked out the display in the lobby, and then visited the art room until it was time for the party. Then, we made our way to the cafeteria, met a lot of Rosemary’s colleagues, and I got to see some of my former teachers who...

Today we finally did something we’ve been meaning to do for years–take the kids to the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill!

Today, we saw that they were having a Magic Treehouse-themed show for the kids, and we thought that would be just about perfect. Brian has gotten into that series of books since we picked up the first 12 at his spring book fair, and he has...
Read MoreFun in the Sun, Concert in the Park
Today was the long-awaited Fun in the Sun event at Root! Brian was pretty excited about getting to go to school in his swimsuit, knowing there will be a lot of fun, messy, and wet activities today! We started out with some breakfast in the classroom, and Brandon got an early Father’s day gift from Brian. The kids did some morning activities while us parent volunteers got things set up outside the classroom. We set up a bunch of different stations, from sponge races, to water balloon...
Read MoreZoo Trip!
It’s Saturday and we’re starting off our Memorial Day weekend with a zoo trip! It wasn’t supposed to be too hot, so we thought it would be a great day to go. We joked about how the whole state is probably heading to the zoo today as we started our trip.. But it got a lot less funny when we arrived and we had to park a serious hike away. 😉 Kendall wore a new outfit today with a matching hat, and I thought she was just adorable! I started snapping pictures before we even...
