Our dear friends from Charlotte are visiting for the weekend. So far we are having a great time! We had the idea to split the siblings up for the day, so Jeff and Johnny were to take the boys hiking and Erin and I were planning to take the girls to the mall. Earlier this week Hurricane Irene threw a kink into our plan. The weather this wknd calls for tropical storm like weather. When we got up this morning, however, it was only raining in spurts, but was mostly not raining. So the guys decided to take the boys to Umstead anyway. Probably not the most responsible thing we've ever done since tree limbs could have fallen, but it turned out to be an awesome day for us all. Johnny, Jeff, Lucas and Hunter hiked for 5 miles through a foggy, creepy looking forest... and loved it! Meanwhile, Erin and I had a fun time with the girls at the mall. The highlight was taking them back into the Claire's boutique that I took Ellen in a few days earlier. They "shopped" around and tried things on... so cute!
A little while later we saw that the Ch*ck-fil-a cow and the H*llo Kitty mascots were saying hello to people. Ellen has a love/hate relationship with this cow. She talks about him all the time, but is too scared of him to get near him. I took the shot below of her using her baby as a shield between her and the cow, which stood about 20 ft away : )
Later that day we had to think of fun things to do inside since it was still rainy and wet outside...
