crossover- greensboro-cation

as promised... another crossover blog post. this is where i have been for the last few days :)

"my family (parents+sister) tries to do a family vacation every year. for years we have been camping (not my favorite!) but as our families have grown... we have out-grown camping. we have not yet been able to all agree on a vacation that accommodates us all. so until the time of an agreed upon vacation comes around... we decided to meet in greensboro and just do some day trips. a greenboro-cation if you will ;)
unfortunately the weather did not quite hear our plans and it was cool (75!) and drizzling for the first 3 days ;( but we made the best of it! we went to the greensboro children's museum, the natural science center, the asheboro zoo, a local (fun!) pool, and played in the yard. we even had a bonfire and roasted hot dogs for dinner :) all in all it was a successful trip! some great time with family!
and for those of you keeping track... i ran 6 miles with my sister (almost 1/2 of my final distance)!"

here come the pictures!!!

the first full day was spent at the children's museum (as it was 75 and rainy)
the next day we went to the zoo (still cool and rainy but we went anyway!) and had a bonfire!
zoo...
steven (brother in law) and steven edward (nephew) building the fire!hana cooking hot dogs :)
my sister's kids eating at the cook out... they like to get messy :)
the next day court and i ran... then we went to the pool (sadly, no pics of that) and played in the yard :)

yay for family time!

*** don't forget the mini-sessions saturday at the beach!!! a few spots left!!!***

crossover- painting

i wanted to add a new "feature" to this blog. i also maintain a personal blog for family and friends. so every so often i will share a "crossover" post from that blog so you can get to know me a little better... and how i spend my time!
so here is what we did today... they painted!

"the girls and i have had a lot of sun lately, which was part of my reasoning for staying home today. a friend and her son came over this morning to play. then after nap we decided to paint. the girls LOVE to paint... they had a great time! unfortunately it doesn't use up a lot of energy. i am sure we will be going somewhere tomorrow!!"an almost finished product
i hope you enjoyed this first installment of "crossover"!
