Sawyer turns 6!!

Sawyer turned 6 on August 12th. He wanted c.chip pancakes for breakfast and wanted to watch "umlimited T.V.". He got to watch tons more that morning then we headed to a metro park for a pinic and a little hike. He was showered with gifts at each meal and then some. He was happy to have his GG,Papa and Autn Bethany visiting from NC. We went to Red Robin for dinner. Sawyer DID NOT WANT THEM TO SING TO HIM! The next day he had his Jake and the Neverland Pirate water party complete with 10 little pirates, a treasure hunt, water ballon "fight", waterslide and pool! The cake was good too! Can't believe that he is 6. He is such a blessing and thank God for him and pray for many, many more healthy years together:)

County Fair

We headed to the county fair with some good friends in our neighborhood. This was the first fair for Saywer and Caroline. They loved it. The rides were a hit and so were the animals. Oh, we all loved the snocones and funnel cake! YUMMY!

Caroline's last b-day celebration

Caroline wanted to have some friends over to celebrate her 3rd b-day. She wanted a princess party and boy did she get her wish. We had nail painting, coloring, bean bag toss, and a princess bounce house. Mommy made her a special cake and everyone dressed up! We then headed to the lake to celebrate Grandma Swain's b-day.

Mountain Trip

After spending several days in and around Rural Hall, we headed to the Mts to see Bethany. We had a great time and she was a wonderful host. We traveled to Bryson City, NC for a day trip. We heard great blue grass music, tubed down a river and good beer. After that day trip we headed to downtown Ashville to see the drum circle and eat icecream. What a experience!

Post beach travels

On the way home from Tposail, we made a stop at Grandma Gribble's. The kids had fun playing dress up and playing with Gus. I think Grandma Gribble slept well that night:) Before we headed to the real mts, we headed to Pilot Mt for a warm up hike. This was Caroline's first hike and she kept saying, "I am a really good hiker". Sawyer did not want to leave as he wanted to keep finding "harder" climbs.

Take us to the beach....

but first we have to stop in Chapel Hill to eat and let the kids walk around campus a little! That's right, on our way to Topsail Beach, we stopped in Chapel Hill to get good food and get a drink at the old well. After eating and walking we drove to North Topsoil Beach, NC. What a week we had. Swimming, fun, food, family, battleships, birthdays, late night card games, adult drinks, great views...and much, much, more. GG and Caroline played ballet studio, Papa and the kids napped together, Jammie read 2 books--yes you read that right. There are too many moments to name...hope the slideshow captures some of the great times we had. looking foward to next year already:)
