I am writing this on Monday, 10/13. There are lots of pics at the end. As always, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger.
It was a strange trip to NC. We arrived Thursday afternoon. Thursday and Friday, Elizabeth was still recovering from a bug. By Saturday, Elizabeth was better but Bryon was sick. Jul got sick late Saturday. Danita was sick for the drive home Monday. We did simple adventures, and we didn’t always take both children. Fortunately, Danita brought some simple craft projects and several children’s movies on DVD that saved the day.
Friday school was closed. Jul and Pat were at work, and we were minding the store. I spent some time with B in the back yard while Jul took E to the grocery store. After lunch, we went to a park and took a short walk.
Saturday we took E to a playground.
Sunday it was cool and rainy. We took both kids to a super mall. We started at Bass Outdoor Store, looking at all the stuffed animals, animal tracks in the floor, aquarium, and more. Then we walked the mall, rode the carossell, had ice cream, and spent some time at the Lego store play area.
The drive down and the drive home were uneventful.

B took this at the Bass aquarium. You can see his thumb and my reflection — and even a fish
