The In-laws Visit

Karen and Jenn at Latta Plantation

August started off with a bang for us. On August 1st we had a visit from Jenn's parents, Bill and Karen. We had a lot of fun while they were here. We went to Historic Latta Plantation where we hiked some trails and rode horses. We even saw a live copperhead near the nature center. We also went on a 16 mile bike ride to the lake one morning. As Bill would say "it's all about the workout". Another day we went to Carowinds and spent the entire day riding coasters, relaxing in the wave pool, and cruising down the water slides. I was impressed with the old folks' stamina. I was exhausted after about 6 hours at the amusement park and they kept going full steam until 9 or 10 o'clock. Another day we spent playing games (yes, even Bill played some games) including Scene It Squabble and Boggle. We also put up new ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom. Now we have a 60 inch fan in the bedroom which keeps it nice and cool. It was great having the in-laws come to visit and it will be nice when we move closer north and can see them more frequently.
