Adventure with the Sweigarts!

The Sweigart family left NC on Wednesday morning after a WONDERFUL, relaxing vacation. We met the Sweigarts in the mountains and stayed at my parents condo (thanks Mom and Dad). Arlie and Graham were so excited to finally meet one another! Arlie was very helpful to Graham in learning to roll over while playing on the floor.

We went to the Nature center where Lee got to hold a snake for the first time! Brave soul.

Let's just say it was NOT busy on the mountain and we pretty much had the Dining Lodge to ourselves. We had very yummy lunches and enjoyed listening to Graham and Arlie "talk". (Happy Birthday Christine!)

It was a gorgeous weekend and we had fun walking around and pushing the babies in their strollers, and riding around in golf cars with our babies strapped in their snugglies. Mountain walking left us huffing and puffing a few times- well it left Adam and I huffing at least! =) Christine and I also had fun putting Graham and Arlie right next to each other in their car seats while we headed off to shop. It gave us the feeling of having twins briefly! Wow- that would be a definite challenge.

Back in Chapel Hill, we had fun spending the day walking around UNC and Franklin St. There was definitely an excitement buzzing around the campus with the Final Game that night! Go Tarheels! We experienced our first "Bubble Tea" on Franklin St- who knew Tapioca Pearls would be yummy?!

The next day we went swimming (for the first time) at their hotel. The water was perfect and the kids were SO cute in their swimming suits. I think both Arlie and Graham will be little fish in their upcoming pool days. Here's Adam with Graham dressed in the only clothes we had in the diaper bag! Ha- he looked pretty funny in this mis-matched outfit. After our swim, we headed over to Duke to walk the gardens, peek at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and walk through the Duke Chapel. What a beautiful campus! We really enjoy living only 10 minutes away from both UNC and Duke.

Arlie is 2 months older than Graham. Arlie=dainty, lady Graham=sausage, brick! They cracked us up at the way they would interact. Arlie wanted to hold hands with Graham, but he already thinks girls have cooties. Secretly though, he's in love with Arlie. =)

THANK YOU CHRISTINE AND LEE for coming out to visit us. We loved your company and miss you already. Graham is already looking forward to another visit with his sweet Arlie.
