Spring Break 2010...

We went south for Spring Break this year.

Here is Libby and our daughter Emma.

They are BFF. This was Libby's

first time flying... Emma is a pro!

When we landed in Charlotte,

Airforce 1 landed right behind us.

This was all the closer we could get.

Our son is a structural engineer for US air, so he

was excited to see the plane, it is awesome!

We didn't hang around to see the

occupant though, just saying...

Our first stop was our Son and DIL,

Seth and Melanie's home...

So nice to spend Easter weekend with them.

We all went to the US National Whitewater Center
http://www.usnwc.org/
Our US Olympic team trains here.
Emma and Libby did some
rock climbing....


It was in the mid 80's so they also
ran through the sprinkler!



They went out for an exercise adventure
with Bella and Melanie.

Posed for a few photo's...

Down by the creek on the trail

Bella loves to run on with Melanie.

Tom helped Seth with an outdoor project.

There is a stream that runs

through the back of their lot

that sometimes floods the backyard.

So they dug a new and improved

one that will redirect the water.

It looks really nice.

Seth needs to get some more rock to finish it.

Can't wait to see it when I go back in the summer.

We were outside all weekend. We played some games

and ate every meal outdoors. So nice!

Melanie fixed an amazing Prime Rib dinner

for Easter on Saturday afternoon.

Easter Sunday we went to church and out for Brunch.

We then planted garden while the boys

worked on the creek bed.

In the evening Tom flew home and the

little girls and I headed further South

to my parents home in Florida.
Early Monday morning we awoke and

went to see the shuttle Launch

with Grandma Connie.

Here she is with Em and Lib!

The launch was amazing, our pics don't do it justice!

The cloud trail looked red,

white and blue at sunrise.

So pretty!

When we returned home from the launch we

received word that my sister was back in the hospital

for a 3rd surgery after complications from a

prior back surgery 2 weeks earlier. She has a severe

infection and is in constant pain. They had to remove

the bone graft and plate and she is

now in a brace for up to 4 months.

Please pray for her.

Anyway My Mom flew home that

afternoon to be with her.

We stayed in Florida with my Daddy

who proceeded to spoil us rotten.

Tuesday morning we went to

Washington Oaks State Park.

The girls had fun exploring all the tide pools,

and you can never pass up an

opportunity to get wet!

We spent a lot of time at the pool

and had 1 beach day.

The girls did this all afternoon!

We had a fabulous time! Can't wait til next year!

Thanks Seth, Melanie, Mom and Daddy

for sharing your wonderful homes

with us! Love you all!
Blessings~
