Max vs. The Gummy Bears

So, we've had a pretty fun week here in the OC, a little busy, a little lazy. After our lemonade stand, Jack and the kids went to Stone Mountain with the Girl Scouts for the laser show while I went to the election party of Tammy Gilland. What a great party and although I am sad to report that she will not be our next commissioner, she put up an AMAZING fight, almost ousting the 10 YEAR INCUMBENT who is born and raised right here in W'ville. We are so proud of her!

Wednesday, the kids and I made another quick little overnight field trip to Keowee to visit Nanny and Papadad. We got in some more skiing (both kids did AWESOME) and tubing and we visited the new pool and waterpark near them. We all had fun beating this brutal heat sliding down the slides and splashing in the fountains.

Fun weekend--date night for Jack and I, spa day for me, great dinner and ice cream out with the running gang, church, and pool and pizza afternoon with the Griners. We missed getting to celebrate Granddaddy's birthday this weekend (due to a family death) but look forward to making it up soon!

This week, Kinsey is gearing up for her debut in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. She will be starring as a lollipop next weekend--we can't wait. She's also been doing some amazing work with her art lessons. Hopefully I can scan some of her work and post pictures.

Max has, as usual, been living life to the fullest and loving every minute of it. The setbacks of the week--#1: he tripped and fell on a cup of gummy bears (and lost!) This picture is 5 days after said encounter and #2: to add insult to injury, he got his first wasp sting tonight. Good news was no serious reaction. Boo boos 2, Max 0. Sorry, little man!
