The Twins are here! Time for a road trip!
We all headed to NC to see the twins, with Shalene and Rebekah. They were so cute and cuddly. Dare did awesome, as with everything she does. Ryan was not that bad himself. We snuggled until we wore the kids out, then headed to Grammer and Papa's for some fun. While in town we took the kids to Pullen Park, one of my favorites. Dale, Dare and I all played at Pullen Park many times growing up, swinging, riding the train, boats and carousel. It was great to take our own kids back to play, only Dale was playing GI Joe. Maybe next time. My family had a blast with Rebekah, and miss seeing her. She is getting soooo big and cuter everytime we do see her.

The gang headed back to TN, and then on to GA for Shalene and Rebekah. 

Sneaky Rebekah who kept standing up, Dallin her first mate, who kept her buns in the boat. 

Parker and Gretchen on the boats, pretending they are on  

Rebekah, Shalene, Papa, Richard, Gretchen, Grammer, Dallin and Parker on the train. ALL ABOARD! 

Richard & Gretchen holding tight to her goat that does not move, or she would have been screaming. 

Dallin, smiling, Rebekah looking scared and an ostrich. 

Parker on the carousel, all smiles. 

Rebekah and Shalene taking a stroll. 

Grammer handing out tickets, Papa thinking about flicking Parker's ear, and Richard wondering what the plan is. 

Shalene and Rebekah at Pullen Park, where Dale, Dare & I all played as kids. 

What Richard does at the park with the kids. :) HeHeHe! 

Grammer & Rebekah swinging, Grammer looks concerned. Rebekah looks like she is having fun. "Higher Grammer, Higher!" 

I guess they are discussing what to build, or who is going to knock Dallin off the digger. 

Rebekah Poo taming the wild dinosaur. 

"I have two sticks and I am not afraid to use them!" 

Richard & Parker soaring high in the swing. 

Dallin on the monkey bars, look at those muscles. 

Double trouble coming right at you! 

Dallin in Papa, and Grammer's tree. Hiding out and spying. 

Gretchen & Owen, she was very protective of HER baby. 

Dallin and Elijah, he loves the twins, and loves to cuddle them. 

The boys! 

Tired, but happy mom, dad, and twins. They are soooo cute, all 4 of them.

HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!
So I am just a little behind with my posting. You should see my scrapbooks. Pitiful! For Labor Day, we met our friends the Christians (a new couple in our neighborhood), the Hardings (new family down the street), the Stevensons, and the Morgeneggs at our favorite park, The Cove at Concord Marina. You can play on the playground (did it), play volleyball, (watched it), grill out (ate it), swim (swam it), build sandcastles at the beach area (built and smashed it), and enjoy the boats of all kinds. We had a blast, ate some yummy food, even homemade icecream, YUM! The night before we watched the fireworks at BOOMSDAY! with the Christians. The launch them off the Gay street bridge over the Teneesee River, of course playing Rocky Top and patriotic songs too. It was almost an hour long. They say it is the biggest firework show on the East Coast, and I believe it. It was AWESOME!
