First week of school and Fair ride videos

They actually let me take first day of school pictures this year! Monday, August 26th

Some pictures Justin's teacher took of him on his first day!

We went to the Hickory Fair on a Wednesday night! The kids ended up riding some rides they hadn't done before!

He did like the ride despite the face!

We went to the back to the fair on Friday evening to watch the shows and they had a diving show where this guy drove 84 ft into the water..... 

 The kids really liked it!

Playing in the rain and Skateland!

Hallie, Justin and Miranda playing in the rain! They spent two nights with her, Pawpaw, and Karen!

We went back to Skateland tonight for the third time and she actually skated whole laps  without holding onto the rails! She's gotten a lot better in a short time! Thanks to Mom for taking the videos!

Hallie said she looks like she's dabbing in this video....Jason and I think she looks like she has Tourettes syndrome...yes we know that's bad to say!

More Summer Camp, Rollerskating, & Beach Trip

Superheroes week at camp (July 29th)

making capes and masks!

The field trip this week was Skateland and it was the first time Hallie ever roller skated!

She ended up liking it so she and I went to Skateland on Thursday evening for family night! We had a blast....she ended up skating better by the end of the night. She never fell and was very determined to try to skate without holding onto the rails!

This video was when we first started

While we were skating Jason and Justin went to the mall and also slipped over to Krispy Kreme then took these selfies!

Cat likes the car seat!

We went to Lee and Der's house on a Sunday afternoon...they loved playing with Sydney!

Beach trip August 8th through August 13th. 

We had a blast- the kids really loved both the ocean and the pool.

First evening at the beach!

Hallie did some boogie boarding!

They loved burying themselves in the sand!

We went to Pawley Island Tavern,

which was covered with $1 bills that you put your name or some sort of momento on so we did ours!

Near the restaurant was an ice cream place where you could also feed ducks, turtles and fish! We actually went there twice!

We ate at the Pawleys Isalnd Raw bar the last night which had a playground aka "jail"

Last day and we went back in the evening!

Most of the evenings we spent time at the pool... it was very nice!

Unfortunately, dad and Jason got into a wreck on the way down and at home, a tree branch fell on the power line and the neighborhood was out of power for 8 hours!
