The Kids’ First Fair

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Last weekend my husband Carl and I went to pick up our grandkids after picking up his new hearing aid from hearingaids.Miracle-Ear.com. We got to our daughter’s house, swooped up the kids and took them to the North Carolina State Fair. My son in law has to go on a business trip, and my daughter is going with him to get away. We love taking the grandkids, and we hope that she can get a little rest.

We figured that the fair would have a ton of fun things for us to do. There are chances to win prizes, go on exciting rides, and we will surely get the kids a treat or too. After all, it wouldn’t be the fair if you couldn’t get a little junk food. We’ll just have to keep it a secret from our daughter. She hates it when we spoil the kids, but what can we say, we’re grandparents. It should really be a good time, I’m just glad to have the kids for a weekend.

Fishing Trip

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I love to fish and its usually by myself. I usually go every other weekend. I pack my stuff the night before and all I have to do is get dressed and start planning Home Security. It is very relaxing after a week of working. My job is stressful and it feels good to go fishing on the weekends. I started taking my son with me last week. He had never really fished much before. I set his fishing pole up and we were fishing on my boat. It was hard for him to leave the line still, so we started fishing for bass. He reeled the line in several times, and did not even really know what it felt like to have a bite. Once he reeled in the line and the pole started tugging. He did not know what to do. I helped him reel it in and it took some work. He had a very small fishing pole made for kids. The bass he caught was 15 inches long. That was on his first time ever trying to fish. He was so excited to take that fish home to mom. She cooked it up for him, and he was very proud of the fact that he brought home dinner for the family. I can not wait to see what he will catch next time.

One last blast

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

It’s been a long hot summer and my family is happy that it’s almost over. We are all ready for the cooler weather to take over. But after thinking about it, we all decided that we wanted to take one last vacation before that happens. You know; a one last blast kind of thing. Since we had all enjoyed our last trip to a Myrtle Beach Resort, we thought we would return there for our trip.

As I was searching online to find out what options we had, I found that there were many Myrtle Beach Resorts to choose from. One of the newest ones was called the Avista Resort that looked like the best. The building was really interesting and the grounds around it were nice as well. I also knew that there would be plenty of things for everyone to do when we got there.

We have visited the area before and have always counted on the fact that we would receive great service during our trip. No matter which of the Myrtle Beach Hotels you visit, you can’t go wrong. Everyone is excited about the trip and I am sure that we will have plenty of pictures to share when we get back. The only thing left to do after that will be to start planning our winter trip!

One last time

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Since the winter is getting ready to set in, I thought that I would take my family out for one last camping trip before it gets too cold. I asked the kids about it and they were all for going to a pa rv camping facility. We have enjoyed these trips before and they have become one of our favorites. There are many things to do and everyone always seems to have a great time.

The best part about going to one of the pennsylvania RV Parks is that you always seem to meet someone new and interesting. You never know who you will be camping with and it’s always a neat surprise. We have met many families just like ours who enjoy the outdoors and take advantage of the hiking and other camping activities.

The best part about gettysburg camping is the history that surrounds you. No matter where you go, there is always something new and interesting to learn from. We like the feeling of getting away from the daily grind of life and spending time together as a family. I think it sure would be neat if we met you while enjoying ourselves there. I hope to see you soon!

How things have changed

Friday, September 4th, 2009

I remember growing talking with my girlfriend on the phone. The bad part was that the only phone we had was in the kitchen which didn’t have much privacy. I was also forced to walk around and talk as the cord would only reach so far. I wish my kids could have a few days of living like that to show them how lucky they are!

My kids live and die by their phones and are always bugging me to get them the latest Cell phones. It seems that phones are sort of like clothes and are always going out of fashion. My daughter wouldn’t be caught dead with anything other than a blackberry phone. All her friends have them and she has to have one too.

Since I was destined to buy her a phone, I decided that I would go all out and get her the Cell phone accessories she wanted. She wanted a case and it had to be purple or else she might die. I also got her a charger so she could charge her phone in the car. I’ll be glad when she can afford her own phone and then she can have whatever she wants!
