Where to begin?  This summer is the stuff kids dreams are made of.  The kids are in North Carolina for a few weeks and have invaded Misty Mountain bouncing between Grana + Grandpa's, Aunt Joy + Uncle Chris's, and Aunt Linda's.  Surrounded by family and living the dream.

There's ample time for lounging and playing.

Master chef junior in action.

Grandpa's birthday had one of the best chorus's singing happy to him.

Days full of playing outside in killer sandboxes, outdoor picnics, and evening fires.

Visiting the bears and sculptures downtown.  With museums and galleries filling the kids with inspiration.

There's always room for ice cream, which has been eaten a lot this summer.

Comfy movie nights.

 And a total girls day with Aunt Cha Cha and Ashlyn.  Ashlyn spent a couple of days with Charles and Parker in Charlotte where the two girls spent a girly day of mani/pedi's, hair blow outs, shopping, and dress up.  Ashlyn was in heaven.

They're exactly where they should be and loving life like they should be on these beautiful sunny days and nights.
