My Fun, Fun, Fun Trip to in Raleigh, NC

I had a very fun trip to Raleigh, North Carolina with my daughter and her family this past week. Grandpa stayed home to hold down the fort and WORK. He took off a few weeks ago to come but unfortunately Felix got the swine flu so we had to cancel our trip.It was grandparents breakfast at the school and I got to go again this year ( 2nd one). I got to meet the teachers. We made Halloween cupcakes for some of the neighbors after school and I watched Felix jump rope 480 times without making a miss. He is amazing and should be on David Letterman. it waa fun to see Evie play with her 2 bestfriends.....Amelia and her guina pig, Snowflake. She loves to sing to her and play for hours. Chelsea and I also had some fun mother-daughter bonding.....shopping, eating out, etc. We went to a beautiful lake, called Jordan Lake ,only 10 minutes from their house for a little R&R after school. The kids swam and played in the sand by the water...it was breathtakingly beautiful with the trees and view. Chelsea and I also had a day trip to Chapel Hill to see some great sights. The Duke campus is beautiful. Of course we hit TJMaxx/ Home Goods and had lunch one day at a fabulous French Bakery. Lindsay and Regan came over to go to the temple with Chelsea and Dana last night while I babys the kids ( there was one extra little girl staying for the weekend while her parents were away). They came home and Lindsay and Regan came for a short visit and dessert.. Chels and I finished off the evening with a late movie, "Fame", to make the perfect ending to our fun filled week. I drove home today in time to go to lunch with grandpa...he was missing me and getting lonely. I am catching up on chores and tonight is a wedding and the RS broadcast.....tomorrow I teach RS and the marriage class with grandpa. Busy, Busy weekend. I need a good night's sleep after all this partying.
