4TH of July

We had a very busy but very fun 4th of July weekend.

Thursday night I took the boys and we went to with my 2 sisters and their kids to see the fireworks in Burlington. We also took our Grandpa with us, he is 86 yrs young and he had a great time going with us.

Friday Woody was off for the holiday also. We were invited to his cousins house for a cookout. She lives on Hyco Lake and invited us to bring the boys and go swimming and boating. We spent the entire day there and had a great time. It was the first time the boys had ever been in a lake to go swimming and they had a great time. We also had a great time on their boat. We were all pretty exhausted at the end of the day.

Saturday we decided to surprise Andy and take him to Duke University and look around the campus and take him to the bookstore. Andy is a BIG Duke fan and he had never been to the campus before. He was very surprised when we arrrived because we did not tell him where we were going. First we went to look at the chapel, it was not open so we could go in but it was beautiful from the outside. Second, we went to the campus bookstore and did some shopping. He had a great time looking at all the different items avaialble with Duke on them. Then we were going to take him and let him see the outside of Cameron stadium and luckily we walked over their and the girls b-ball team was practicing so he actually got to walk inside and see the inside of Coach K court. He was thrilled, his eyes were wide as they could be trying to soak it all in.. He had a great time and was thrilled with our surprise visit to his favorite school.

Sunday morning we went to church and after the service Sherri and myself took the 4 girls from our Olympian class that made their gold medal out for lunch and a movie. We made a quick stop off by the mall afterwards to a shop I had never been in before. Libby Lou's (i think), they were so excited, I think they liked it better than the movie. Having only boys I was lost in this very girly store but they seemed right at home. I think they had a great time and I know I did.

Those are the hightlights from our holiday weekend. It is now Monday and so I had to come back to work to rest. I hope everyone had a relaxing and wonderful holiday weekend.

Hugs,
