Trip to North Carolina (March 2009)

When we arrived at Lance and Mindy's house in Fayetteville, the kids greeted us enthusiatically! lol. They actually did come running out of the house to see us. This picture was taken later, after we had come inside.

We played for a few minutes, then left them with a babysitter and went out for Italian with Mindy and Lance.

The next day, we went on a hike near the Cape Fear River. The beautiful Kunz ladies: Kaitlyn,

Mindy, Leah, and Amber.

Kaitlyn, Christian, Amber and I ran races, sang songs, and took pictures. Here's Amber's self portrait--I love how you can see her smiling even though her mouth isn't in the picture--she's got good singing cheeks!

Lance was tired, but I got a smile out of him at Christian's 4th b-day party.

Star Wars cake...what could be better?

Our present to Christian was this sweet toy--I don't know what it's called but I loved playing with these as a kid, and the Kunz kids had the same reaction. Cam was the best at it.

Here's Lance being a real sweetheart and doing the dishes...I was completely charmed! I loved this window in their kitchen wall, which opens onto the family room so you can be at the sink and still see all the family/guests. Genius! If we ever build a house, I would like to put that feature in.

This picture could have so many funny captions but I'm awful at thinking of them...any ideas?
