August 10, 2009 - We can't believe how fast the summer has flown by. Tucker spent a fun week at horse camp - thank you to Granny and Papa for sending him. Tucker also spent an exciting with his Grandpa Sam in Banner Elk. The trip included a visit with Cousin Gabe who lives in Pennsylvania. Thank you to Anna for letting him have a sleepover at her house too. We also had a fun week at the Hinson beach house. It's always fun to spend time with Maggie and Betsy.
Most of the summer has been spent enjoying time at home. The above ground pool in the backyard has been used almost everyday. We enjoyed lots of late night campfires and just time together as a family. The big event of the summer was Tucker's bike accident. His first trip to the emergency room resulted in 4 stiches and a new bike! Mom and Dad also have new bikes and the family has enjoyed fun rides on the Charlotte Greenway.
Tucker has developed some new interests this summer. Our neighbors have introduced us to www.letterboxing.org and we have had some fun adventures. Tucker is enjoying reading Harry Potter each night with his mom. We wish we could go to Hogwarts and meet all of Harry's friends. Tucker has a new addiction - POKEMON! Billy feels pretty certain we will have to perform an intervention before school starts.
The puppies are growing and have destroyed most of the backyard. We have spent most of the summer trying to keep them in our fence.
Our summer is coming to a close and once again we think it has been the best one ever!
