More balls, less dolls

Talking about adddie's birthday present (Addie wants some princess pjs):

Drew said, "Like Kate likes princesses".  Kate said, "Actually, I don't like
princesses.  I like balls."  I asked, "What do you mean?"  Kate said, "Like
basketballs and soccer balls and baseballs."

Vacation time

Went to Hiawassee and Dollywood. Kate's favorite ride was probably the Dizzy Disk. Drew's favorite ride was the Smoky Mountain River Rampage. Drew through the largest, most random tantrum about going to the bathroom. Don't even really need to blog on it, let's just say Sherri will always have that burned into her mind.

Drew's first real bike ride

Happened at the most nerve wracking place on earth actually. He did a great job once he figured out how to really get moving. Note to self, post a picture. Training wheels worked well.


As for the nerves, he (and Kate and Dylan) rode their bikes at the Hiawassee Dam. There is a walkway about as wide as 1 and a half parking space that goes along the top of the berm for half a mile. This was the riding spot. Can't find a good picture of it, but picture that width. Off one side is a 60 degree hill going 50 feet down. The other side is a 60 degree hill covered in rocks leading to the reservoir.

So that was pretty awesome.

Thanks for visiting Granny

We had a grand old time while Granny was in town the last few days. Ate out lots and she got to see both kids play their soccer games
