Dad and Greg's Visit to Raleigh

Dad and Greg arrived in Raleigh about 9:30 Thursday night. They would have arrived sooner if someone had done their college paperwork ahead of time and not procrastinated until the last minute... (we won't name names!) :)

On Friday, Timmie, Amy and the girls came over. Dad gave the girls presents that Kathy picked up before the guys headed to NC. Then we went to the pool - Madison, Malaina and Skylyn thought that it was so funny to squirt Grandpa. Grandpa got so wet that he decided that he may as well get in the pool. He said that he had not owned a pair of swim trunks in over 10 years. He had to buy a pair for the trip. Then we went to Amy's house for dinner - yummy! I am now a big fan of carrot cake! The girls were their silly selves!

Saturday, Jim got a 7:48 tee time.... Greg was not a huge fan of that. He usually sleeps late and that was way too early for him but he made it up to go golfing. Jim, Ed, Dad and Greg golfed 27 holes at Lakeshore in Durham. If that wasn't enough to tire them out, we went to the Carolina Mudcats game. Dad thought that the huge shopping cart was very cool. The nachos that Greg bought were very hot! The Mudcats won and Maddie got her picture taken with Muddy. Madison said that Muddy Jr creeped her out - she thinks that midgets are evil! :)

Sunday, we hit the pool again! Dad, Madison and Jim played a lot of monkey in the middle - appropriate place for all 3 of them! Malaina had a lot of fun pouring or throwing water on people. Skylyn learned that her Daddy was the mailman :) Not really but very cute in the way she says it! We then went to Timmie's house where Matt made us an awesome dinner (of course!). Then we celebrated my birthday with a Carvel Ice Cream cake - delicious!

Dad bought us chocolate no-bake cookies at Food Lion - the 4 of us, Brandy, Timmie, Amy and Greg all love no-bake cookies!

We had a good talk Sunday night and then Monday morning came very quickly and it was time for Dad and Greg to drive home. I gave them directions that probably cut about 100 miles off their trip. Lesson learned - girls always have to make sure boys are prepared to travel.

Now it is back to work. Hopefully we will get to see everyone again real soon!
