Hotel Williams

This last week was a series of wonderful reunions with old friends.  On Monday evening, my dear friend, Sarah (a fellow UNC cheerleader) came to town with two of her kids, Will and Charlie.  Aiden and Court loved meeting them (and so did I!)  We had a sleepover with them on Monday night after an evening at the pool.  Our other partner (cheerleader) in crime, Mindi, also came over to swim and visit along with her kids, Addison, Grant, and Carson.  It was a fabulous evening! All the kids were so well behaved and made everything so easy on us.  Thanks for making the trip Sarah!!

We wrangled the kids to sit still for one second before they jumped back in!

Of course, we had to reminesce about the old days.

Stories before bedtime.  Can I just say that Scott is an amazing story teller - he had these kids in stitches!

Then on Friday afternoon, the Fredericks came to stay the weekend with us from Chapel Hill.  It was nice to have their undivided attention for the whole weekend since we normally only see them for short snippets when we go to Chapel Hill.  We were able to celebrate Jocelyn’s birthday with her on Friday with a pizza and ice cream party at the pool.  Charlie and William came to swim and Dave, Jenn, and MacKenzie also stopped by to visit.  Such a fun evening with great friends!

We went to Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville on Saturday morning.  It’s like a huge petting/feeding zoo where you ride a wagon (or your car – yikes) through the animal enclosures.  Tyler, Melissa, and Baby Trey (only 3 months) old were visiting from Kansas City as well so they came along too.

Thanks to everyone coming into town the same weekend for a big ole reunion!  Hope we can make this a yearly event!
