On Friday we headed to Raleigh to stay with Grandma (the girls call her Mama Dot). We did lots of fun things, but we mostly relaxed and ate a lot :). We stayed until Saturday afternoon...taking our time for everything and enjoying the company!
While we were waiting for the meal to be ready, the girls took Angel for a walk.
Kate is Papa's girl. She's also playful, sometimes in an irritating way like trying to poke you in the eye with glasses while you're trying to talk on the phone :).
It went well at the beginning...
...until K realized that there was a possibility for her to hold the leash. Then the whole walk became a teaching experience for sharing and taking turns with some tears.
Grandma Carolyn, Granddaddy, and Aunt Nancy were our traveling guests. We were glad to see them! Nancy gave the girls some books as gifts.
After the wonderful, filling meal (thanks for cooking Grandma!), we sat around together and played the Newlywed game.
It was a fun evening...the game was intense at times, with lots of flip-flopping of which couple was in the lead. I think Aaron and I came in last place when it was all said and done.
Stephen was our host! He did a great job coming up with the questions. One of the hardest was, "which animal does your mother-in-law remind you of?" because TWO of the mother-in-laws were in the room! Can you imagine?!
Vivian pretended to play along as she wrote down her answers.
After everyone else went to bed, Michael, Stephen, Aaron, and I went to the movies. We had some miscommunication about which theater we were going to, and we ended up at the end of Six Forks at a small, shady theater...ha! But it was fun...popcorn can't be beat, and the movie was sorta funny.
Kate was being silly during breakfast Saturday morning.
We enjoyed our family and the vacation!
