This morning Rob went downstairs, and Caleb had already turned on a show. The kids have been anxiously waiting for the 3rd Ghostbuster movie, which is actually going to be made. Every day Jacob asks for me to turn it on.
Rob: What are you watching?
Caleb: Ghostbusters 3
Rob: That's not out yet. Let me see.
(he checked the show they were watching on Netflix.)
Rob: That's Stripes. It's rated R.
Caleb: But dad it has Peter Vankman in it. That's how we know it's Ghostbusters.
Rob: You do know that Peter Vankman is a character in the movie played by Bill Murray. He's in lots of movies.
Caleb: No this is Ghostbusters 3.

Family Trip to the Mountains
I love nothing more than a trip to the North Carolina mountains. Things are just so much more peaceful there. I love the winding roads, the cool breeze, and all the mountain streams.
We recently drove up to Price Park with family for a simple picnic and to let the kids play in the creek. We saw a surprising number of water snakes, which the kids thought was thrilling (me, not so much). And the kids loved trying to catch little fish (which reminded them of the fish we have in our aquarium at home).
It was fun spending time with family. I was really glad my aunt Kay and Grandma could come with us.
My camera's battery ran out right as we pulled up to the Moses Cone Manor, near Boone, NC, so sadly, I missed videotaping lot of really pretty scenery. Hopefully, you'll enjoy what I was able to capture.

Beth's Acting Debut
Beth participated in a Kinetic Theater Camp last week. She loved it. She designed and made costumes, created puppets, and put on a fabulous show. The group worked together for less than twenty hours before their first performance, and then they also performed at the grand opening of the new arts center here. I was impressed with the entire group, and I loved how excited Beth was to participate each day. Even better she called people and invited them to come on her own. Thanks to all of you that supported her by coming out. She really appreciated it! I think we may have found the thing that makes Beth shine!
