This past week my sister Trisha came all the way from Rigby, Idaho to North Carolina, bringing two of her kids. Abby, Quinnie, Sophie, Syrena and Naomi had a wonderful time together. Here are some of the highlights:
Checking out the lily pads at Duke Gardens (don't worry, the snake is tame).
Reading fairy books. (Yes, that is the same snake.) By the looks of Sophie, the plot is intense.

Hurricane Hanna passed by North Carolina and woke us up in the night with the sound of rain pounding down on our house. It flattened my butterfly bushes but it filled the stream up and everyone had a great time enjoying the water the next day.
Quinnie, looking for piranhas.

Trisha and Abby playing a game: close your eyes and listen to the waves come toward you. Guess whether or not the wave is big or small depending on how loud it is...and pray you don't get knocked over!

Thanks for coming to North Carolina, Trisha.
