Jamie and Jeremy's Visit

We had the pleasure of having our nephew Jamie come down with his friend Jeremy.  We had a BLAST!  It was a long drive for them so we tried to make their trip worth their time.

 Jamie takes the plunge.
 Jeremy chillaxing.
 We wore Jeremy out.
 Dan enjoying a Monster out on the dock.
 Blair and Le enjoying the afternoon floating.
 The best part of the day at the lake.  Cool drink, hot sun and a float.


 Jamie knee boarding.

 Jeremy coming out of the lake. Why?  IDK


 Snacking in the afternoon.
 Getting ready to zip line.
 Our gear.
 Feeling pretty brave.

 Dan coming across the first line.

 One of several rope bridges.  I didn't care for these too much.
 We also went white water rafting but I had to have a waterproof camera.  I haven't developed those pictures yet.  Once I do I will post.
 We rented a pontoon boat and rode out to the other side of the lake.  We took a picnic and made a day of it.
 We forgot wine glasses.......................

 Colin and Jack.

 I don't know WHY these photos are sideways either!  You will just have to turn your computer on it's side.  I can't get them straight! 
 Our "Last Supper" at the lake before Jeremy and Jamie head home.  :(

Memorial Weekend at Vivi's House


We went to TN to attend Alex's high school graduation party.  Sandy was at the Lacrosse Finals so he didn't come with us.  We had so much fun we stayed an extra day.

 Alex's graduation display for the party.

 Let them eat cake!


We decided to have a water balloon fight.  The pictures speak for themselves.


Aunt Vivi explaining the rules.


Ok, I just couldn't resist this picture.

First Day At The Lake 2011

We made our first trip to the lake a couple of Sunday's ago.  We brought along a few of the boys friends.

Le, Paul, and Daniel


 Sandy, Tyler and Dan

 Le is a true Boy Scout.  He caught that catfish with nothing but line, a rusty hook, and left over chicken nuggets.
 All the boys took turn fishing and all had luck. 

This is the coolest picture EVER!  I was riding the jet ski and this HUGE eagle? hawk? swoops down in front of me, dives for the water, and plucks out a snake.  The hawk then flew up to a branch and sat there with the snake in it's talons.  It was so awesome to see.  If you look closely in the photo you can see the snake hanging down.


Dan And I Take A Field Trip To Atlanta

Dan's class went on a field trip to Atlanta where they toured the World of Coca Cola and the Aquarium.  I was responsible for Dan and three of his buddies.  We had such a good time.  They boys were so good. 

 Dan and his buddy Tyler.

Nurse Blair's Party

We had a fun time hosting Blair's family and friends after graduation.  This is just a sampling of the evening.

 Madison takes a dip in the pool.
 It seems like all of the photos are of Maddy.  She was the hit of the night.









WHERE is Waldo?

It's official.  Blair is a graduate of Clemson.  Nurse Blair will start here new job at GHS July 11th.

Easter Ocean Reef 2011

We had another great Easter in OR.  Here are a few highlight photos. 
 OR had a "Brazilian Steak Night".  Here is a photo of Le's plate....
Here is a photo of Daniel's plate. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich...

Group photo.  Pretty snazzy group, right?

Sandy chartered a boat and captain and took the boys fishing.  I have NO IDEA WHY these photos are sideways but I'm tired of trying to get them straight!

 We spent a lot of time just chillaxing.
 This photo is out of order AND sideways!
 Len and Jaye celebrated their fifteenth wedding anniversary while we were visiting.  What a handsome couple!
 Grandpa made his world famous waffles!
 They are cute aren't they?
 Daniel, the captain of his kayak.
