April Adventures

We spent most weekends with the newest members of our family, Amanda and Zachery. Amanda serves with me at church and we just recently started hanging out. We made a trip to Rock Hill, SC to explore the area.

First we visited the Museum of York County. They had an awesome collection of bones and other specimens. Jackson was in heaven.

There was a planetarium show that taught us about the current NC stars and planets. We were able to test our skills later in the evening.

We had a picnic lunch and hiked the trails behind the museum. Such posers!

Then we visited the Glencairn Gardens where the kids ran free. The boys get along great and like the same kind of fun. They especially love trading Pokemon cards, along with Addy too.

Zachery took this nearly professional picture of us with Amanda's fancy camera.

A big hit for the kids was feeding the goldfish in the pond. Luckily, we brought bread.

Got home just in time for a dinner of hotdogs and smores on the campfire.

Another Saturday morning, Amanda and I joined this fun crew from church for a free workout at Carolina Sweat. I was sore for days! Our pastor is the guy in the grey sweatshirt.

Here we are together again while celebrating a friend's birthday at Old Mecklenburg Brewery.

And more posing with this girl. We sure enjoy each others company. She and Zachery came over another weekend for a pizza dinner and campfire. Later in the evening, the kids ran around having a blast in the dark.

I also got to go to my friend Tricia's baby shower, she's the one in the striped dress next to me. We serve as check in partners at church. The other ladies are also church friends.

Josh and I enjoyed our first Charlotte Hornets game thanks to our friends Pat and Allison from small group.

Here's a goofy selfie of us.

Adorable little people! We babysat Audrey one Friday and Benny loved having a friend. I need to have this girl over more often to soften up my rough tough boy.
