Museum of Life and Science

A trip to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. The kids especially love the "Into the Mist" exhibit.




Simon saw this tarantula and said "it's so cute!"


Amelia and I posing with our new glasses (and a dinosaur). Simon plus a trampoline incident broke her most recent pair. And I finally picked out frames for my very first prescription (which I got 6 months ago). Still getting used to wearing glasses. Luckily I don't need to wear them all the time.

family reunion

The family reunion was filled with the usual assortment of crazy and fun activities and lots of visiting with family. The weather for the weekend was great. Cooler with dramatic skies and pretty sunsets. We did get a little rain but it didn't interfere too much. I was just happy to be away from the yucky heat and humidity of the south. There are several runners in my family so there was a 10k run Saturday morning. It felt so great to run in cooler, humid-free weather. I hadn't attempted to run that far in the heat here for a few months so it felt great to do a bit of a longer run. I was sad my kids couldn't be at the reunion to take part in all the fun but I was glad I got to be there and see so much of my extended family. All 4 of my siblings were there which doesn't usually happen so that was fun.


A wild game of fruit basket.
















Pretty scenery on the morning run.

















It was great to get away for a few days but I was so happy to see Ben and the kids again. I only saw Ben briefly before he headed to L.A. for work for the week.
