We have been really busy over the last several weekends. This past weekend was of course the 4th of July weekend....we spent 2 days at the lake with Chris's family and then headed down to Morehead for 2 days to be with mine. The weekend prior to that we had Chris' work party at the lake on Saturday. We had a great day hanging out and enjoying the water, while getting to know his co-workers and their families. The weekend before we went to the lake Friday night until Saturday and then we went to Candice and Jordan's wedding in High Point....staying the night with my college roommate Carrie!! The weekend before that, Corey, Sarah and Estella came to stay with us in Raleigh. We took Stellar to the Natural History Museum...so loved the dinosaurs and whales...and of course the butterflies!!! It was great to have them stay with us!! Leann stayed with us that Saturday too...we had a full house! The weekend before that we went white water rafting with the Hodges family in West Virginia ( I need some pics from the Hodges crew who took them)! That was sooo fun! The weekend before that was Memorial Day weekend, and we were in Morehead!! We have been going going going. And this weekend we are finally getting a lot of our "married couple" friends up to the lake for the weekend.
Here are some pictures from these past couple of weekends....enjoy! (Sorry they are not in any particular order.....completely random)
