Our Day at the Lake


Liddy and Kate have been asking to go on a boat for so so long now and today they had the chance! They were both so excited! We went with our neighbors to the lake to SPARC 2008 where children and adults with disabilities have the opportunity to water ski, kayak, jet ski, ride on boats, swim...etc. We went with them last year and had fun, but wow this year was a blast!! The girls swam in the lake, turned flips on the swing set, decorated magnets, wall plaques, and picture frames, took their very first boat ride, paddled on a paddle boat, and they took a ride in a kayak. We all had so much fun!!!


Kate on a pontoon boat...wow!

Ian, Kate, and Liddy playing in the lake. The girls put their goggles on and went under the water...they said, mommy it's really brown we don't want to go under anymore!

Aileen and Ian swimming in the lake.

Ian loved riding on the boat!


It always makes me giggle when they say, "cheeeeeeese!"
This is Ian, Liddy, Kate, and Charlotte.



It was just yesterday that daddy taught us to flip all the way over on the bar....



Liddy was so proud to do the flips by herself...yay Liddy!!

Family History

The Carpenter Family Reunion.
Gogi, Mimi, Kate, Lydia, and myself traveled to Cherryville, NC for our annual family reunion. We had such a great time! The drive was beautiful, the girls were so so good, and it was nice to reunite with family. Here are some pictures of our family trip!

Exploring is such fun!

Sweet Lydia!

Lydia up in a tree...wow! Great job!


Kate climbing a tree!! She was so proud of herself!


Below are pictures from the Carpenter family farm. My Grandmother was the youngest in the family and this is where she grew up. I believe the main crop they grew was cotton. Her brother lived here many years and then his son and wife...I remember coming here as a young girl and seeing peacocks, guineas, pigs, cows, horses, and crops (including cotton...really neat). It was such fun to visit the farm with Gogi, Mimi, Kate and Lydia!

This is the potato house...I guess potatoes were hung and stored here!

This is the wash house.

We are in front of the old smoke house on the Carpenter farm.

Mimi and the girls looking at a horseshoe.

The barn...
Mimi, Kate, and Lydia went exploring in the barn and came across a cow...
Wow, my mom jetted out of that barn so fast!


The slave house on the farm where my Grandmother grew up...
yes, her family's slaves lived there.


Lucky horseshoe by the door of the slave house.
