The Kids at the Winston Cup Museum - Winston Salem, NC

Transportation Museum

In September, Dad took the kids to the Transportation Museum in Salisbury, NC. They learned about numerous cars, buses and trains. Sullivan was in hog heaven. Carrigan enjoyed it too, although you wouldn't think so looking at the picture she took with Dad.

First Day of School - 2009

Here are some pictures of the kids' first day of school. Carrigan started a week before Sullivan. Carrigan is wearing the white shirt on her first day. Sullivan is in the striped shirt on his first day. They love school. Hopefully they will feel that way in 12 years.

Visit with Monroes - On the Farm

These are pictures taken when we traveled to Asheville, NC to visit our dear friends, Carol and Norm Monroe (from Winter Park, FL). It was a short visit - 24 hours - but we had such a wondeful time on this beautiful farm belonging to a friend of Carol and Norm's. The kids gathered eggs in the hen house, fed the horses, went swimming and explored. We loved it.

Summer Vacation

The kids' first trip to Disney World, Universal and Sea World! We had a wonderful time visiting the parks and many of our Orlando friends. On the way down to Florida, we had lunch with Holland Mickle and her grandmother, Etta Mixon, in beautiful Barnwell, SC. When in Orlando, we stayed three nights with our dear friend (and Holland's mom), Jill Mickle. Then we invaded another friend's house - Carol and Norm Monroe - for three more nights. We were able to visit with many others - Phil and Linda Roach and the wonderful folks at Florida Citrus Sports. We were happy to see so many people who remain very special to us.

Below are pictures from Disney World and some of our friends. More pics to come.
