Fall Weekend--Part #3

OK, where was I? Oh, yes--we visited cousins, Evan and Pressley! After a fun time was had by all four, we decided to get Corin to meet us at "The Casa"( It's actually Uncle Julio's Casa Grande). Amy and Corin and their kids go there almost every Friday night, so we decided to tag along. The chips there are fantastic--as well as most everything they have! Here, they are enjoying the chips--and the waitress also brought each of them a ball of dough to play with!
Before we took Will and Abby home on Saturday, Abby wrote this note to Poppy and GranNan. Of course, it just melted our hearts! (the word "sing" was actually supposed to be "things".)

After we took them home on Saturday, Beth, David and the kids went up to my sister, Lynn's, lake house. We had a lot of responsibilities at church on Sunday morning, so we didn't go up until Sunday afternoon. We were all there together from Sunday until Tuesday. Sunday was the only day we didn't have rain, but we still had a lot of quality time together.


We also got to see more cousins when we arrived at the lake house. Lynn had had Debbie's grandchildren over the weekend, and we were so glad to see them! This is Sydney and Michael. They are my neice, Melissa's, children. As most of you know, we lost my sister, Debbie, to an auto accident in 1991. It breaks my heart to think that she never got to see her three precious grandchilren. Her oldest, Amanda, will be 15 in January! Debbie would have loved and enjoyed each one so much!



Sunday, before the rains began, Will and Abby thoroughly enjoyed fishing! Here Will is showing off his very first fish ever!



Abby caught one too. It was about the same size as Will's--we even wondered if it was the same one, since Will's was thrown back in.






On Monday, the kids played with the Wii--they have really gotten good at Wii Bowling!




Since it was still raining on Monday afternoon, we all decided to go to Anderson, SC, which is about 25minutes from the lake, and take in a movie. We saw "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". It was cute!
That completes last weekends activities. All good things must come to an end--but we're looking forward to more fun times!
