Lake Weekend…

It was fun! Now we are hunkering down for sub-tropical storm Alberto…let the rains begin.

Last Friday we headed downtown for a family fun run! It was a one mile course and everyone did great! Bailey and I went ahead of the boys because of her age group and ran the whole thing. BJ said Andrew also ran all but about a block. Go buddy! Here we are!

Hey Cocky, O-H! He just looked at Bailey and hung his beak down….dumb bird.

Bailey’s Spa Sleepover!

So Bailey decided about 6 months ago, she was going to have a spa sleepver for her birthday. Well, she stuck to it – because last weekend it happened! And was so fun! Here are some highlights…

We did face masks, feet soaks and hand creams. Then we gave manicures and pedicures. The girls looked and felt great! (They also used their sleep masks for a quick back yard game of Marco Polo!)
