C L E M S O....N

I never knew what the fuss was all about.....

now I think I understand!  

It was such a fun day!

Looks like we may become Tiger fans after all....

Hiking Chimney Rock

We headed out for a fun day of hiking.  This was a first for our family.  

I had high expectations.

It was everything I hoped.  

We had a blast!

(At least most of us did.)

My facebook comment at the end of the day was:

It was great! We are all pooped. We will be sore tomorrow. 

Middle sister was a rockstar, always leading the pack. 

Little Man walked half and rode half in Daddy's back carrier. 

Daddy had the hardest job when Little Man was in tow. 

Big Sis complained the whole time. 

And, I LOVED IT! 

We ended our trip with homemade ice cream and a purchase of a peck of peaches from a huge peach farm. 

I love when thing go as planned!

First to the top!  She was just standing and waiting for us!

Big Sis was at wits end right before we made it to the falls.  

She decided not to join us.  

She was trying to prove a point....but she just missed out.

She regretted that decision when her younger siblings came back and told her how much fun they had.

She then decided she would go "see" them. 

Our last trail was a kid's trail full of fun and informative stuff.

Then it was time to reward ourselves for all our hard work!

And then the best part.....

Peaches....

Peaches.....

And more peaches...

It really was a great day!

Labor Day Weekend

Pool Fun

Starting out with some moves with a noodle.....

I'm not sure what he was thinking, but he thought he was cool!

Then the noodle fights started.....

Not everyone was interested in a fight......

Fun with Daddy....

I'm a lucky girl!

And there is never just an uneventful outing.......

Here is Little Man after his face-plant in the mulch on the playground.....

More to come....

Off to school

I remember oldest sister's first day of preschool.  I cried and cried.....I felt like I was sending her off to to the wolves.  I had kept her in a bubble and it was time for the bubble to pop.  I was crushed.

Then middle sister went to preschool....  My eyes got a little teary as I said good-bye.  

I had done it before and I knew she would be okay.  

Today little man headed off.  He didn't even say goodbye to me.  He was off and as happy as a clam.  

I think I even smiled as he was walking away.  

Tears.......none.  

Love that little guy....but he is one of those wolves.
I hope the first time mothers of innocent little girls won't hate me!  

I know he is going to have a great year!

Check out my boy!
