We had a great time on our trips to Charlotte and Roanoke. It was a whirlwind of fun for everyone and we were able to make lots of wonderful memories. We left town on Saturday morning and headed to Charlotte to see the Walters, some very special friends that are more like family to me. We spent Saturday thru Monday boating, fishing, eating, visiting and chasing kids (between 3 of us girls there were 8 kids, including 3 3year olds!!) We had a wonderful time and always look forward to going back! Thanks Walters for a fabulous time, we can't wait to see you all again soon!

Monday when we left we headed to good ol' Roanoke because Kevin had to be there for work till Wednesday. So the kids and I were able to spend time with his parents while he was at work!! We were able to visit with a lot of Kevin's family and had a great time swimming and hanging out. Wednesday morning Kevin had to take a train ride back to Norfolk, so we were able to go down to the tracks and see him as the train came by. Ryan thought it was so cool to see his daddy riding the train! Kevin's parents headed back home with me to come visit some more and give me a little help on the ride back. It was nice to finally get home and sleep in our own beds. We enjoyed our visit with Nanny and Poppy and were sad to see them go on Friday.

All in all it was a fun trip! The kids slept good (even Emily), mostly because they were so exhausted from all the fun! School starts in 2 weeks so we'll pack in some fun before the school year begins!!
