Food Trucks at City Hall

This year due to constriction at the waterways they moved the Wednesday food truck festival to City Hall.  We loved it here because there was a large green space to run around, a stage where we finally got to hear a local favorite- The Deloreans play, food trucks set up in back, tables, and games for the kids.  We all had a great time and the kids got us all dancing!

Occoneechee State Park Cabining

We took a weekend away to Occoneechee State Park this weekend to stay in Cabin #5.  We got there before 5pm and unpacked before it started to rain and we listening to the rainstorm from their covered porch.  After it stopped raining we took a quick bike ride before we all roasted marshmallows and had s’mores, yum!  Saturday we started off with a hike on Old Plantation Trail and walking through the Terrace Gardens.  We checked out the marina before coming back to the cabin for lunch and quiet time.  We did a little family biking and the kids enjoyed going up and down the hills.  Alex even figured out how to start his bike by himself!  We biked to the trail-head of the Panhandle Multi-use Trail, stowed our bikes in the trees and hiked to Buggs Island Lake.  After that we went back to have dinner and relax around the cabin for the night.  Sunday we checked out then hiked Mossey Creek Nature Trail before leaving the park.  It was nice to get away from our daily grind and get back to nature.

Gardening and Mulch

It is warming up and that means that we planted our seeds in the garden and laid out the mulch for the year. Also birds started a nest in my birthday flowers from Vicky.
