Going to see Wicked in Charlotte with some church friends!

It has been a fun, busy summer in North Carolina. Highlights: Carowinds Amusement Park with the cousins (Sloans & Bryants), Toby enjoyed earning most improved player at Wake Forest Univ. Soccer Camp. He also went to Forsyth Country Day Sports Camp and enjoyed airsoft gun wars, a day at Celebration Station & Wet n' Wild with his friend Uly. Scout Camp was great and Jim & I enjoyed going up to Parent's Night at Raven's Knob Boy Scout Camp. What a pretty camp they have for the boys! Arielle loved Horse Camp (and being a big helper to Michelle for the week) and Camp Merriwood overnight camp with her three girlfriends from school (Athena, Haley & Jessica). Phew! The kids have done alot in June & July. It helps break up the summer for them to go to some fun camps, esp. while I'm at work M-F for half the day. We have also been enjoying lots of pool time at our community pool. I ran the Beat the Heat 5k with Jaime & Melissa and some other gals from Anesthesia school. It was good to know I can still run despite spending much more time Jazzercising than running lately :) Another summer highlight has been going to the Winston-Salem Minor League baseball games "The Dash". A fun benefit to my good job at LRB Real Estate has been to be able to go VIP style to the games with great seats and dinner included. It's been a fun, busy summer! My mom & dad are coming to visit next week and we can't wait to show them around. All the scheduled camps are over for the summer so it should be some lazy days of summer up ahead.
