NC--Flight and First Few Days

The day after school was out, we headed on our annual trip back east for summer vacation. The kids are expert flyers by now, even handling Mommy oversleeping and just barely making it to the airport, sitting on the runway for an hour, a two hour delay on our layover and hustling through the airport for a last minuet gate change. They were real troopers!

 

Because of all our delays, we arrived way late to my parents house that night and spent the good part of the next day sleeping, grocery shopping and getting settled.  Then the children got to participate in VBS that night.  A local church was using my parents front yard to set up an outreach VBS for children's who's parents might not be able to bring them to church.  They held it outdoors with games, singing, crafts...all the things that make up a VBS.  It was a really success, at least 20 kids a night...God can work anywhere, even in a front yard out in the country!

We spent a few days just catching up with cousins...Kaylee, Timo and Cameron were joined at the hip most of the time.  Making wishes together and catching fireflies!

And getting used to the heat...ah, it felt good to be in 80 degree temps...until it moved on up over 95 degrees (I'll talk about the 107 heat later).  Granny had lots of nice cool snacks...jello and ice pops galor!

We also hit our favorite Southern meals...BBQ and sweet tea!  And a nice afternoon thunder stom to top off our first two days!  Wow, seems like a perfect vacation already and it just got started!
