This was our weekend getaway to Charlotte, and the kids weekend getaway from us! We cannot thank Leigh, Dawn & Brian, or Beth & Mark enough for their part in it!!
Devin stayed with his best friend David. His Mom, Leigh, is also a good friend of mine. According to Devin - they just "chilled" all weekend. That's all I could get out of him... typical teenage response. Leigh had her hands full with 4 kids of her own, 2 soccer games, and an extra kid around!
Kayleigh and Chase both stayed with Dawn & Brian. Chase and their son Justin had a blast all weekend inside and out! Kayleigh and their daughter Ashley have been friends for a few years now - they spend a lot of time together either here or there. Dawn was in a bad car accident on Thursday, yet was still willing to take on our kids for the weekend! Bless her!
Beth and Mark have only been married a few years and have no children as of yet. So... for them... to have PAIGE, of all kids, was quite a handful! Beth kept Paige entertained all day Saturday as you can see in the slideshow! They started off with another coworker of mine and her son with a hike to Pilot Mountain, which Paige apparently loved until they hit the big cliff - then she freaked out! Along the way they were able to some horses. From there they visited SciWorks Science Museum with Tricia and Tristan also. After heading back to the house, Beth and Mark took Paige to see High School Musical 3 (poor Mark!!) Then it was off to Applebees for dinner. I tried to call to say goodnight - but Paige was sound asleep!! Paige attended Beth's church today and then had a blast at Beth's parents house with all the other kids.
As for Mike & I. We spent all day Saturday in Charlotte at the Concord Mills Outlet Mall - literally! It took us over 4 hours to go through the 2 mile long mall (yes, it really is 2 miles if you walk it all one time!!). We followed that up with a wonderful dinner at Texas Land & Cattle. We enjoyed sleeping in without hearing "Mommy, can you get me breakfast?" and got a good start on Christmas shopping.
Thank you again: Leigh, Dawn & Brian, and Beth & Mark - for giving us this getaway for our anniversary!!!
