Carowinds! Our First Time -for the win!

Too funny.  The girls were like, let’s start slow then move up to the bigger rides.  Well that didn’t happen. First ride was the intimidator then off to the largest roller coaster in NC the Fury 325!  After that nothing but extreme coasters.  At the end of the video is a frontal view of the Fury as if you were the passenger.  🙂

The State Fair

October is such a busy month. I wish we could spread it out a little.  But we do love the fair. The girls HAVE to have a snow cone on the way in and on the way out. I personally have to have funnel cake and John usually has to try whatever new crazy fried thing they introduce. Sadly we were a little late getting to the fair this year so we left school a little early and Daddy couldn’t get off to come.  But the girls rode their first BIG roller coaster and loved it!  Well, loved it and hated it as it should be…

We’ve got Braces!

Well Katie had been fighting me for over two years that although the dentist insisted she needed braces and all the X-rays in the world showing a tooth coming in right behind her other permanent tooth she still insisted that she would NEVER get braces.  As it happens I told the girls only 3 horse shows per year but low and behold the horse show of horse shows is coming at the end of the year at the convention center no less.  She offers a deal… “I’ll get braces if you let me do the horse show!” me… “DEAL!” Here we go!

The State Fair!

Finally Hannah has hit the big leagues!  They now BOTH love to ride the scary rides but the balloon game where you automatically with the free stuffed animal is still the all time favorite with snow cones coming in a near 2nd place.  For Daddy and I?  Definitely the food!

Don’t play with your dinner!

Hannah and I were doing a little fill in grocery shopping when we walked by the lobster tank.  We had made lobsters once before.  She didn’t love them but she did enjoy watching them run around on the kitchen floor.  She begged me to get one so I bought one to cook just for myself.  POOR ME.  As they took the lobster out of the tank, the one Hannah picked out specifically, he flipped his tail at her throwing her water all over her shirt making his feelings well know.  Wedding Photography Diane McKinney Photography Wedding Photography Diane McKinney Photography Wedding Photography Diane McKinney Photography

And just when we thought we were done with the snow…

Hopefully our last winter storm of the year… We got lucky they cancelled school in the fore site of the storm coming because when it came, it came FAST.  Poor Daddy took 3 hours to get home in all the traffic and snow.  But the kids in the neighborhood built this snow ramp and the girls had a blast flying down it!  Getting’ some AIR!!!!!!2014_02_12-0001 2014_02_12-0002 2014_02_12-0003 2014_02_12-0004 2014_02_12-0005 2014_02_12-0006 2014_02_12-0007 2014_02_12-0008 2014_02_12-0009 2014_02_12-0010 2014_02_12-0011 2014_02_12-0012 2014_02_12-0013 2014_02_12-0014 2014_02_12-0015 2014_02_12-0016 2014_02_12-0017 2014_02_12-0018

Snow Day #2

Ah day two and sun!  A full day of sledding down the golf course hills.  Never being a golfer myself I have never appreciated being across the street from one of the holes.  But  NOW I do.  Finally something in it for me and it was AWESOME!  LOVE IT! Oh and so did the kids.  Just bummed Daddy had to go to work. Oh wait, he’s the boss so he’s the one to blame!  😉jansnowday0011 jansnowday0012 jansnowday0013 jansnowday0014 jansnowday0015 jansnowday0016 jansnowday0017 jansnowday0018 jansnowday0019 jansnowday0020 jansnowday0021 jansnowday0022 jansnowday0023 jansnowday0024 jansnowday0025 jansnowday0026 jansnowday0027
