Easter in North Carolina

Well, we survived our trip to North Carolina. It is a 12 hour drive each way. Turns out Frances had more than a cold as we ended up at an immediate care center out there and she has influenza. Not certain about Delaney and myself but we are both not feeling well today while Frances seems fully recovered. Frances was quite calm and complacent the entire trip (very unlike her). She is making up for that in full force yesterday and today. A combination of me not feeling well and her simply being over the top are not making the return home very pleasant for any of us. I pray I will feel better soon or learn to parent better even when I feel lousy!

We had nice weather while in NC. Mitch got to try out his new foot. He did not land his flip but he was at least able to try without crying! I think he is a go for this season. I too tried out wakeboarding. I have not been on a board in over 2 years! The access to a dry suit was the only reason I even tried it. It was kind of fun but I just don't love it like Mitch does. Frances enjoyed jet ski rides with her daddy and even raced mommy one time! It was my first time ever driving a jet ski so she won!

The girls looked cute in their Easter dresses that grandma Carole bought for them. I wasn't able to get a picture of them together though. We enjoyed two easter egg hunts (three for delaney), lots of naps, good food, good company, fun fishing and good cards (mostly good for the men this trip). It was a nice time and we are glad we were able to go! Hopefully no one else gets sick! Thanks for a great weekend Blake and Nicole! Let us know when you are coming this way again!
