Family Reunion

I took these pictures today at our family reunion. The twins always have so much fun because there is a stage to play on and lots of other kids.

This is reunion is for my Granny's mothers family. Her name was Alice Mills Stewart. They have this Mills reunion every year on the 4th Sunday in August in Washington, NC. It has been happening every year for 100 years!

On our way home we went to the hospital to visit my Pop who has been in since Thursday night. Hopefully he is coming home tomorrow! Yesterday afternoon he was visited by Elizabeth Dole who was visiting Carteret County and was at the hospital for a meeting and stopped by his room to see him. He talked politics for the entire visit! He is 99 and all the nurses over there can't get over the fact that his mind is perfectly fine! He is giving orders over there left and right!!

Soccer

The twins are playing soccer this Fall. They are really excited. Here are a few pics from their 1st practice! Korey and I neither one played soccer so we have no idea what we are doing! Oh well, they look cute in their cleats!
