Weekend Fun

A few weeks ago Paul had a work conference at Biltmore. I went with him and we dropped the kids off to stay with my parents in Greenville.
The kids had a great time in Greenville. Friday after we left they went to TCBY (Ellie's favorite!) and met up with Grandaddy.

Saturday my parents took them to Roper Mtn. Science Center. Roper Mountain currently has a butterfly exhibit. The kids enjoyed that but what they REALLY loved was the living history farm. Emmie apparently spent most of her time in one room schoolhouse and Ellie very much enjoyed the farm where she could churn butter and wash clothes. Ruthie and JP had lots of fun too! The kids are STILL talking about how much fun they had. I think it made it even better for the big girls because we have been reading through the Little House books.

Saturday afternoon they went to the pool and they also enjoyed some popsicles.

Paul and I came back on Sunday and we all ate lunch together.
Funny story...the girls had lots of options for sleeping arrangements. Ellie quickly claimed a room all to herself. Emmie said she "would have slept in a room by herself" but apparently Ruthie wanted to share a room with someone....riiiight...I'm sure it was Ruthie. LOL. So she and Ruthie shared a room and everyone was quite happy. (JP sleeps in his own room in a crib still.)

While the kids were having fun in Greenville Paul and I had a wonderful weekend at Biltmore. We ate lots of good food, hung out with friends, and I spent Saturday afternoon at the pool while Paul played golf.

We got back home Sunday night and the girls and I headed to see their friend Emma in Shrek Jr. (And we discovered our friend Nick was also in the show!) It was so good and Emma did a GREAT job...we were all so proud of her!

The cast came out into the audience at the end and sang and danced...Ruthie was thrilled to get to get up and dance with Emma!
