Things to do in NC if you come visit:

We are on our way to North Carolina...still a week or so 'til we actually get there, but since I'm updating my blog, I figure I will put a few more pictures of our summer in North Carolina. Here are some local things that are fun to do.
Home of NASCAR, of course there is a really cool go-cart track. This one has about 5 different tracks that you can race on.
I wish I was bigger....
There is one just for little guys.
This is a big park nearbywith a carousel, train, petting zoo, zoo, splash park, & big playground.
There are also several lakes nearby.
At this state park we rented canoes for $5.00 and paddled around.
The girls with Mr. Joe.
We saw lots of turtles & birds and other wildlife. There is lots of hiking to do at this lake and several state parks in the area. This is also the place where Hailey got stung 7 times by Yellow Jackets. Not good! Mr. Joe rescued her and crushed them all in his hands. She couldn't wait to get back to Aberdeen, where we she would be "safe" from Yellow Jackets. Sorry Hailey, welcome to the south. Hopefully we can avoid future attacks.
Not too far from Daddy's work is an awesome park with another Splash park, two big playgrounds and this train which runs all they way around them. It is a beautiful train and only costs a dollar to ride....cheap if you only ride it once. I think we rode it 3 times a day while we were there. (x's 4 people)
We also went to this little recreation park several times which has some slides as well as a pool and two kiddie pools.
Sounds like fun!
Ya'll come see us now!

We are planning on a visit! Looks like a lot of fun. When we were in Georgia, I couldn't believe how big the bugs were. But, on the other hand, my daylillies had never been happier in their lives. You should have dad bring you some of Grandma's. They will love it out there!
