Today June, Mason, and I went with my friend Sherry and her grandson Will to the Museum of York County, to the traveling summer exhibit – this year it’s Amazing Butterflies.  It really was so good.  June, and the boys, too, loved the bean bag toss game. June got this picture of one of the […]

Yesterday we were back at the Y water park in Lake Wylie with our BIG group from church.  Clara was with us this time, and had a great time on the water slides – as did all the kids 🙂

Saturday morning Jeff & I headed to Burlington, NC, to watch Charlie compete in the Gold Cup Qualifying race. He had to make it to the main to qualify to race in the Southeast Regional Championships in Evans, GA, and he did that by coming in first in the second moto, so we were VERY […]

This time we visited Fahrenheit, the restaurant on the rooftop of the Hyatt Hotel downtown. […]

Yesterday afternoon I took June, Clara, Adam, & Mason to the library in Rock Hill, where they participated in a program about rocks and minerals.  They were all pretty fired up about it, and it was definitely a refresher course for me.  Here is the lady from York County Museum showing off some of the […]

Wednesday morning after we dropped June and Clara off at arts day camp Mason and I decided to take a couple of turns around the walking track in town before it got any hotter.  Mason is a lot faster than I am 🙂 Then that afternoon after rest time we worked on a science experiment […]
