Happy Birthday, Kyle!

Nine years old. A perfect age for party games - especially Minute to Win it party games! We invited Kyle's friends over and challenged them to game after game of physical and mental challenges. There was the candy elevator, kite hat circle run (not the real name of the game, but an accurate description nonetheless!), breakfast scramble, Oreo face off, and a number of others that only resulted in blurry pictures and giggles. Happy Birthday, Kyle! Each year you get older and smarter and you're going to be taller than me in just a few short years, but you'll always be my little guy.






Peach Picking

One of the benefits of living in North Carolina is the availability of fresh, local produce. Especially the kind you can pick yourself! We took a trip up to Virginia (about an hour drive) and picked peaches to our heart's content. We then took a short drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway and then stopped to enjoy a picnic lunch and watch bikers on their Harley Davidson motorcycles rumble by. It was a perfect way to celebrate the end of summer and welcome in the fall.
