The later half of our week vacation was spent with Ryan's family. We had fun going to Tweetsie in Blowing Rock. It's a cute little amusement park centered around younger children. The girls had a blast! It was extremely hot up there in the mountains, but we all had a blast together!
For Joshua's 8th birthday, we went to a fun park to celebrate. Joshua's aunt brought a pinata for the kids and it was the absolute hit of the party. Even some of the adults got in on the action. It was also another scorcher out and by the time we got back the girls had pretty much hit their wall and I decided to take them back to my parents for an early bedtime so that Ryan could stay hanging out with his family sans crabby kids :-) He told me that night how nice it was to hang out with his siblings without kid responsibilities. I know, I'm the best wife.
The last day we had in North Carolina, Ryan and the men in his family went golfing and afterwards, we celebrated Owen's blessing day! Owen gets his own blog post about his blessing, so stay tuned!
We had such a great time in North Carolina. I swear, every time we go home, we just don't want to leave. Having both sets of grandparents there really is pulling us back. We would love to be able to visit our family more frequently and have the girls and Owen grow up having them as a constant presence in their lives.
Briggs grandkids except Zachary (5 wks)
