Last Day of Camp

It's hard to believe it, but today is Ben's last day of summer camp. Where did the summer go?? Next week we are on vacation, and the week after that Ben starts 1st grade. I repeat -- where did the summer go???

We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our friends Jason and Adina and their daughter Chaya (age 3). They should be arriving later today. It will be their first time visiting us here in NC, though we've vacationed with them in various other locations the past two summers.

On Sunday we are heading up to Boone, NC, in the Appalachian mountains, where we will be staying in a brand new 4 bedroom log cabin. The kids are very excited that we're going to the mountains, though I am not sure exactly what they expect - Pretty sure Rebecca expects it to be cold and snowy there, as she keeps trying to tell me we need to bring her winter hat. Hope she is not too disappointed about that. We are expecting the weather to be pleasantly cooler than here in Charlotte - in the upper 70s, which will be a wonderful break from the 90+ heat we've had daily for what seems like months on end...

We've asked around about things to do in the area, and gotten a pretty good list of things to do and see during our stay... so stay tuned to read all about it!
