NC trip part 2




After arriving at Nana Jo and granddaddy's house we just chilled out. The boys and Chloe promptly pulled out all the toys and played. Chloe likes trucks and would sit for quite awhile and play. We also enjoyed an afternoon snack of chocolate cake right after frosting -- it was fantastic!!

Aunt Cindy and Amber stopped by to visit us and meet Chloe. The boys always play hard to get when they are around, but Cindy and Amber won out and got hugs from all.

Kinston has opened a new spray park and that where we were heading for Friday. It was a very hot morning!! It was crowded, but Chloe and the boys had a ball. They ran threw the water, stood under a big bucket that dumped water, sprayed the "hose" and stood on top of several fountains. We hung out there for awhile and then headed back home for lunch and naps.

After lunch, we all crashed (minus Keegan) for naps. Apparently, we were all very tired. Jonathan was on his way so the boys were quite excited. Uncle Danny, Aunt Carol, Cara, and Travis were also stopping by to see everyone. Everyone arrived at the same time so it was lots of fun. Keegan would not leave Jonathan's side -- he is very much a daddy's boy!! We all ate supper and enjoyed hanging out. After Danny and crew left leaving Cara behind, we settled down for some TV time. Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Rose stopped by later to visit and meet Chloe. Chloe had already gone to bed, but they hung out with all of us. Uncle Ronnie got in trouble a few times for getting everyone so wound up. Finally, we all were sound asleep!!

The next morning, Nana Jo cooked up a big breakfast for everyone. Uncle Clyde, little Ronnie, and Aunt Innes all came by. It is nice to see everyone since we see all these folks so little. Aunt Faye and Uncle Steve brought Wilbur's BBQ for lunch. We also received news that Stephanie became engaged!! Congrats to her!! Cindy joined us for lunch, also. Jennifer, Barry, Allison, and Skylar joined us for the afternoon. The kids played hard outside all together while everyone else hung out inside catching up on each others lives. We left early evening and headed back to VA. We had a nice trip back with our canoe (thanks Papa) and the kids slept for a good portion of the trip. We will see everyone again at the reunion in September!!
