Camping Collages
We had a good time camping with friends over Memorial Day weekend for an unofficial start to summer. We went to Warrior Creek Campground in Boomer, NC (near Wilkesboro). I used my Instacollage app to show some of what we did. Our next group trip will take place Labor Day weekend.

The End Before the Beginning
Drake and Corinna's soccer seasons ended last weekend with a tournament in Statesville. Both of their teams placed third. It was a bittersweet weekend as their teams will be losing players and gaining new ones next season. Tryouts for next year's teams began this past week and will finish up after the holiday weekend.

King of the Hill ( and Chill! )
I am late to post of our camping/soccer tournament adventure from last weekend. This week has just been that jam packed of activity, which is nothing new.
This time last week we were relaxing at a campground in Boone and hoping that the forecasters and weather radars were wrong. But they were right. The temperature was dropping and the rain was coming. Hard rain. Cold rain. The kind of rain that makes you want to cuddle up and nap, not stand outside and watch soccer. Or play soccer. Fortunately for us (or not), the fields were turf and The King of the Hill tournament went on as scheduled.
We still had fun moments and were glad that other soccer families invited us to their cabins for food, shelter from the rain, and even a dip in a hot tub.
As for the campground, we liked it and hope to return in fairer weather. We were thankful that the rain stopped just long enough on Sunday for us to get packed up. Drake's team endured and came in second place.
Tis true that you never know what kind of weather you'll encounter while in Boone!

Meet Mr. Mayor
The last two weekends in April, Hayden played the role of the mayor of Whoville in Central Middle School's performance of "Seussical Jr.." I have been a slack blogger lately but I hope to soon post more pictures of him in action. For now, I will simply post a pic of Hayden with his proud Ma Ma that was taken after the last show.
