Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Mom/Daughter Date

I don't get a date with my two girls very often, so this was really a treat.  It started by winning tickets for the strings orchestra in Greenville.




But a date wouldn't be complete with dinner beforehand (don't worry...I had a coupon!).  The oldest met us there and got the grits buffet loaded with all kinds of vegetables and sauces.


We enjoyed the beautiful weather strolling downtown and taking a picture with the Little One's favorite statue.


Then the concert itself...wow!  Incredible performance, although very long.


Love my girls!  :)

Family

It's not often the whole family is home, so we took the opportunity to have some fun.  This was the college spring break, so a few friends were with us. Below is Luke with his friend Collin, girlfriend Anna Marie, and our little one.


When Ashlyn was through studying, we went to a trampoline park that had a ropes course, ninja warrior courses, and wipe out activities.  Eric was the first to make it up the warped wall.


Then Luke...notice how it's the tallest wall, too!


Next, they made me try to straddle the glass walls.


Ashlyn and Eric did it, too.


This one wanted to try all the obstacles, as nothing seemed impossible for her.


These two sisters loved flipping into a foam pit.  I've never seen so many twists and somersaults into the air!



Eric was pretty good at the ninja course.


Then we discovered the knock out ring....oh, it was on!  Eric and I were first.


Collin played the winner.


Luke and Anna Marie were next....


The Little One then played the winner of that round.  Girl power!


All the 'kids' with big smiles afterwards.
