We took a trip to Myrtle Beach with my parents. It was the perfect weather weekend!
We ate yummy local seafood
We played silly putt-putt
Even though it was the strangest course and so hot/muggy!
Did I mention some of the holes were insane?
Played on the beach - Paul perfecting his water re-routing skills.
Fed hungry hungry alligators (ACK! They're coming to get us!)
Once back home, we went on a local farm tour.
We hung out with Black Angus cattle
We each took a turn at wood turning
And watched little piggies play in the mud
A few weekends later, Paul decided he wanted to put his mountain bike skills to the test at an endurance race. Endurance = 6 hours of riding (3pm-9pm) - yes, in the woods in the dark! Ok, ok, lights were required after dark, but one little spotlight in the woods made it a whole different course after dark.
Here he comes flying down the start/finish road.
Paul then took a trip to Idaho for work. The land of Napoleon Dynamite. Seriously.
Pretty scenery
Lava flow!
What I think is a lava tube (I'm just downloading pictures off the digital camera willy-nilly at this point).
I am so jealous I didn't get to see this!
Last weekend we made our annual trip to the NC State Fair. It was a chilly morning and we only lasted a few hours, but it was, as always, well worth it.
The winning (massive) pumpkins! Everyone takes pictures of these babies!
Steve Troxler (Ag Commissioner, up for re-election) and the Japanese Ambassador boarding the HUGE shopping cart (which they drove through the grounds - video to possibly follow).
And finally, wacky art on the Midway rides. It's kinda hard to see, but it's quite the story there (aliens, blasters, robots). Reminds of something Justin would draw back in the day.
A quick video of the giant souped up shopping cart in action.
