NC Art Museum

We had a great time at the NC Art Museum. I would never have thought Brian would enjoy and art museum but this one had something for everyone... including dogs and hiking trails. In addition, there was plenty of cool art to see like the giant heads and the flying plane made out of butterflies.

So, after many, many years, we've back in the role as parents. (temporarily) So, Mom and Dad and the other grandparents are in Europe while we plan to have 2 weeks of solid fun with the grands. We started off with a presentation on dolphins by Molly.. Yesterday, we dropped Mom and Dad at the airport and the fun began. We cooked a simple dinner of breaded dinner of chicken nuggets and headed off to the Little League field. Brian did us proud. He was the lead-off hitter and got a single to start the game.

As of this morning, Mommy's car still smelled like rubbing alcohol.

The cousins arrived Thursday at 11:30 and we were all glad to see them. Brian and Molly waited with bated breath on the front porch for them to pull in the drive. Note the welcome sign on the front door. They were so happy and the drama is just beginning. As you can well imagine, things took a turn toward the even more dramatic as the make-up artist began her magic back stage. The actors formed a union and made me (the producer) sign a contract. As a result, the production won't be available for another week; unless you can find the people who hacked Sony. Then you might get a pirated release.  Meanwhile, there was plenty of time for some fun board games. And for the most part, everybody played nicely together. Then it was off to dinner at Tapatio for Mexican food including fresh guacamole prepared at our table and a well-deserved pina colada for Grandad. After dinner, there was the usual bedtime rucus but lights were out by 10p.   ...
