Since Morgan has been studying for the STEP 2 exams, the kids and I decided to give him some peace and quiet. We loaded up the van and headed to NC for a few days. We were able to play with our Lewis cousins and spend time with my grandparents. Here are a few pictures from our mini vacation:

I am so cheap. I made Luke and Miriam share their lemonade at Qdoba. They didn't seem to mind!
One afternoon we went to Grandma Aldridge's and picked blueberries. The children really enjoyed getting to pick them and I am now loving the blueberries in our smoothies!

Grandma Aldridge spoiled the children. She gave them not just a few Oreo cookies to take home, she split the entire bag between them! My children were in awe! We also got a lot of fresh apples from their orchard too. 
Grandma Aldridge bought Grandpa Aldridge a golf cart for Father's Day to help with hauling water to the garden. So we got to go on a little outdoor excursion while there. 
Grandma is a brave soul. She let Luke drive...
and Miriam too! They nearly crashed into the cars but Grandma quickly saved them.
The kids talked about how fun it was at Grandma Aldridge's for a while that evening. She even surprised us the next day at lunch with an ice-cream party with more Oreoes! We had a great mini vacation and are now ready for Kindergarten to start for Luke in just 2 1/2 weeks!

Aww, so cute! Looks like you all had a lot of fun. Is this the same grandparent's place that you and I played at a few times when we were kids (this is Amanda btw. Got rid of facebook...but I've kept up with your blog off and on since you emailed the link to me, back when you started it).
I know we haven't really talked in a long time, but I still think about you, and all the fun we used to have. Wish we could've stayed close like we used to be. Hope you all have a great summer (what's left of it) :)
