Summer Vacation 2010 PA

We spent a week in Pennsylvania with Dan's family. We started our trip at the Keefer family cabin in the moutains. Fishing, hiking, rowing a boat, and just hanging out with the family were the highlights of our mountain stay. Then, on to Dan's parents' house where the kids were "at home". Next, off to Dutch Wonderland for a day of fun and adventure. We made the long trek back home with some wonderful memories.

Visiting Aunt Alicia

Halle, James, Hayes, Gram, and Amanda drove to see Aunt Alicia in Cary, NC in June. Everyone enjoyed staying at Aunt Alicia's house, torturing her cats, swimming in her pool and visiting the incredible children's museum in Durham. Thanks to AA for her hospitality.

Rainy Day Entertainment

We had one of those perfect summer storms, no thunder or lightning, just a heavy, refreshing rain. The kids had a ball playing in it. As the rain came to an end, a rainbow appeared. Smiles all around. Priceless.

Daddy's 32nd Birthday

We celebrated Dan's 32nd birthday by going to dinner at one of our favorite pizza places. We were able to sit outside, next to a big fountain, so the kids were entertained.

Just hanging out at the house

Halle, James and Hayes play well together except for the occasional mishaps. Halle and James like to play "Prince and Princess". Hayes loves to snack, and we all like to spend time together outside.

"Virtue is bold and goodness never fearful." - William Shakespeare

James delivered the above line clearly and confidently. It was a beautiful night to sit outside and watch preschoolers celebrate this amazing poet.

PALS Soccer Spring 2010

We all enjoyed the first season of soccer. Halle and James each played on a 4 and 5 year old team. They learned to listen to a coach, play as a team, cheer teammates on and have fun. It was a great experience for all.
