Dwayne is best man in David's wedding this weekend and as it is in North Carolina, it made sense that only he go, as it is not cost- or sanity-effective to bring the me and the kids. At the prospect of taking care of everything, and everyone, for the 5 days he was going to be gone, I whimpered something like, "Mommmmmmmmmy!" which translates as "May the kids and I all stay at your house for 5 days? Please?"
It was a rough start, even just getting us down here. I was exhausted and headed to bed before 10pm when I heard the retching. Piper had a 12-hour stomach bug in addition to the cold all the kids had. Luckily, the time has gotten better. Much better, though it doesn't take much to improve upon an all-night stomach bug.
We like to walk/ride/be carried around their neighborhood.
Puppy is buried under all those blankets. He’s been kind of the new Baby.
Is it me, or does Wes look like a vampire in this shot?
Oh, but what a bathing beauty in the kitchen sink!
Today, we went to the newly opened
It’s an outdoor area made for running, climbing, and exploring, activities my girls have a natural bent towards.
In the same parking lot, there is a nature center with turtles, snakes, and frogs. We got to dress up as all sorts of animals. Kyla chose the skunk costume for me. They had puzzles, books, microscopes, and a min-gift shop that sold candy, so we spent a lot of time in here as well. 
With the Snake Lake trail just behind this building, there was lots of fun (and educational!) things to do here. We’ll definitely mark this as a place to visit again.
