We drove to Raleigh for the weekend. It's somewhat of a tradition to go to my good friend, Donna's house to kick off the summer. The first thing we did was go to the pool. This was our first family swim of the year and first time ever for Grace in the pool.
She was a little clingy at first but liked it once she got used to it. What she did not like was getting splashed in the face.
Donna's daughter, Hayden loved Grace and always wanted to hold her.
Of course the boys had a blast. Harrison even passed the swim test enabling him to go in the deep end.
The next day we went to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. All the kids had fun here.
That's a beetle Harrison is holding.
This is Grace's first juice box. She sucked it down.
Donna's yard is awesome and the boys loved exploring all of it.
Jeff & Harrison helped fix her fence. Good thing Harrison brought his construction hat.
They asked me to take pictures of their favorite spots in the backyard.
It was a great trip!
On the way home the boys got to eat their museum treats, a gummy gecko and a (real) scorpion sucker.
