Fun on the Fourth!

Although I had to work the night of the 4th, and we didn't actually go see any fireworks (we are not so sure Chase will enjoy the loud BOOMS and we know Ellie won't), we had a great weekend!  Sunday we went up to Concord where Matthew Easley's mom lives to go swimming in her pool!  It was great to go swimming, but even better spending time with our favorite South Carolinians- the Easley family :)

lots of swimming = 1 very tired Chase.

snoozin' susan!

Saturday Jason and Chase took a trip to a "special place" to go see the Nascar Hall Fame and some pretty snazzy cars.  Chase had an absolute blast!!  And of course, Jason really cherished this special Father/Son event.  He and his dad have always had their special little events and car shows to go to over the years, so I know Jason is looking forward to taking Chase on many special Father/Son outings.... just like I am looking forward to my Mother/Daughter spa days with Eleanor :)

Happy 4th of July everyone!
