OUTSIDE!!!!

We had superb weather while down in NC, which made it easier for the kids (and as a result, the adults) not to go stir crazy!  There are some small water falls which empty into a pond right near Granddad's house (and the goats), which the kids all love to climb on.  What kid isn't drawn to water?? There are also large open grassy areas for the kids to run around as well.  Dave and Doug took the kids kite flying one day, but although it was windy and clear, the kites didn't do very well.  In all, being outside was good for everyone's mental health and provided energy release!

The kids went running around the upper pond and all the way back to where Meredith and I were waiting.  They thought this was fantastically awesome to have that small bit of freedom.


The day before we left, with only a few hours work left to do in the house and loading the truck, we all packed up and went on a picnic lunch at a park nearby that sports a frisbee golf course.  If you don't know what frisbee golf is, you should read this.  First the kids found a playground and hung out there for a while.  We took a break for lunch, then we finished our afternoon with a few more holes of frisbee golf.  It was such a fun afternoon and great way to end our trip.
