We headed for NC with half of the "waiting game" for our possessions already completed. With an empty home we were even more eager to explore our new surroundings, and yet, with a new puppy joining our family we also fully understood that the time period we could leave our home (at least for this summer) would be in increments of a few hours. Thus, we slowly (but surely) began to familiarize ourselves with the town.
First stop....no, not the zoo - it's a few hours away so we're saving that for another day. The library. Our kiddos love books, and the older gals also love listening to books on CD, so, when we arrived and found some of their favorites ready to be checked out they were very excited.
We also spent countless hours playing fun games. "Father May I", "Simon Says", and "What Time Is It Mr. Fox" were among their favorites. I guarantee you - our kids could now beat anyone at these games.
Thatcher's real 6th birthday also arrived and a family celebration was in order. The splash pad, running through sprinklers, and taking Raxtus on numerous walks that ended with beautiful sunsets helped complete our weeks as well. When the moving truck arrived our kiddos grabbed the first box they could find and immediately went to "work" with their imaginations.
