Busy Day!

So Gus has been on this fishing kick lately and has now been requesting to go swimming in a lake.  We headed to Umstead State Park.  It's between here and Raleigh.  I was researching it a little last night and found out that prior to 1966 when the park was renamed after a governor, it was actually 2 parks, one for whites and one for blacks.  That just seemed so unusual to me.
As you can tell by the pictures we ended up in canoes.  It only cost $5 for an hr on this little lake within the park.  I still can't decide if having Hank with me was more difficult than having Gus.  We found out that you can barrow their fishing poles and return them to the visitors center.  Gus is dying to catch a catfish.  Luckily they didn't have any in this lake.  Overall I think Mr. Brown and the boys would have been proud of us!

After the park we headed back to the NC state farmers market that we went to last weekend.  The boys and I stayed in the van and sent Trent to find things.  He bought a lot of peaches so now I have to figure out something to make in order to use them.  THANKS TRENT!

Once we got back to the house, I sent Trent to Target to get Hank some diapers.  He comes back an hour and a half later with Target Brand diapers.  Now I'm all one for store brand items with the exception of a few things, vanilla wafer cookies, most cereals and diapers.  So he caught all kinds of grief concerning this matter.  He said he knew he probably would and now we have a bet as to how they will hold up.  I'm nervous I might be wrong.

Gus had a fundraiser dance tonight for scholarships at the martial arts center where he's taking jiujitsu.  He and Hank had a wonderful time.  There were two girls there and one was trying to get Gus to dance with her.  When Trent asked him why he wouldn't dance with her, he said that he liked her friend with the long blonde hair.  Turns out she was 12.  So at least we know his type!

Well Jill and Andy had their closings on both houses yesterday-so they have been moving.  I told Trent if we were still on Skyline, they'd only be 3 houses down.  Trent didn't like that thought...not that I blame him.  I love his family, but wouldn't want them that close.  So I'm feeling a little guilty that I can't be there helping them with things, but from what I've heard they are doing fine without me.  I think this coming Friday is when their Chinese exchange student comes for 10 months!  I sure hope that works out too.  I'll be interested to see how she settles in so quickly before school starts.  She's 16 and will be at North.  I'll fill you in when I get details.

I just asked Trent if Hank had peed out of his diaper.  His response "No.  It's a perfectly fine diaper."

Still feeling excited about you...only a few days!!!!  You're going to have so much fun!!!
