Summer Week #1

We had an active and fun first week of summer vacation. We started things off with a movie. We saw Epic and all thought it was cute and entertaining.


The girls had friends over to swim and spend the night on Wednesday. They all had tons of fun and spent plenty of time in the water.

The girls and I went to the White Oak Amphitheater to see Darius Rucker in concert. We are all huge fans and Darius is the one performer I have really wanted to go see. 

So, we got lawn tickets on the day of the concert and headed out with a huge quilt for our lawn seats. The opening acts performed (Jana Kramer and Justin Moore) and soon after, one of Darius Rucker's crew members offered us seats on the floor about 10 rows from the stage. Not only were the seats close but we sat front and center!!! It was such an awesome experience and we loved every minute of the show. He didn't disappoint!

Shelly went to a friends' birthday party on Friday and spent the night at her house. Lily and I stuck around the party and chatted and laughed with the other moms.

Saturday afternoon we headed to Boone, NC for a mini trip. We went to the Mast General Store for candy and had appetizers at Char and then dinner at Macadoos (we love their mac 'n cheese). Sunday morning we had breakfast at the hotel and headed to the Linville Caverns in Linville, NC. We explored a cavern with a guide. It was a new and interesting experience for all of us. After the caverns we headed back home and completed our first week of summer fun!
