Reunion 2013

We had another successful McDaris Family Reunion in Asheville NC in July.  Pop Pop and GG came for a visit and took the boys to the pool which is always a treat.  We met up with Ashley for a traditional Mellow Mushroom pizza dinner the night before the reunion and topped it off with a fun night of dancing, ice cream and a firehouse visit.  Dylan got a lot of smiles running around town in his Superman cape, too.  The reunion was a lot of fun, good food and lots of family catching up.

OBX Vacation

July brought a very exciting Ward family beach vacation. It was especially fun because we hadn’t been doing OBX beach vacations since the boys were born (the drive is just too far when they’re really little) but we thought they were old enough to be entertained by movies in the car so it was time to give it a try.  We also learned that there’s nothing better than the promise of a McDonald’s happy meal for good behavior :)  John and I were able to go down a few days early while the boys stayed with Grandma and Grandaddy which was so nice.  We even decided to do a helicopter ride around the islands!
