On Friday morning, we woke to find out that our house had been taken over by boys. Papa's college friends came in from across the country for a boy's weekend. Mister Adam came from Cleveland, Mister Zac from Providence, and Mister Paul came all the way from exotic Greensboro.
While the boys were gone, we headed to Greenville to see another college friend. Mister Taylor is working in the area for a couple weeks and managed to get a few hours off of work to come see us. We went downtown to see the farmers' market. And were delighted to see it was a trick or treating event!
We played in the fountain for a bit and ate at a great barbeque restaurant.
After lunch, we headed to the Greenville Zoo.
We really liked what we saw, but it started raining before we made it all the way through.
Outside the zoo was a covered park (genius, Greenville! It is so hot in the sun all year round.). We all played under the shelter, except June, who couldn't convince anyone to push her on the swing.
This soaked little girl rode home in just a diaper. Thanks for meeting up with us, Mister Taylor. If you have a minute, send over the pictures you took today.
Tonight, we had supper with some of our neighbors. Then we headed out for our fourth round of trick or treating. We met some of our new neighbors who now know us as the little boy who rings the doorbell fifty times and screams "TRICK-R-TRAAAAAA!" and the little girl who grabs handful after handful of candy until her mama makes her give it back, then throws a fit on the front porch. They'll never forget us.
On the couch is me, John (who was a snow leopard), James (who was Batman), and Juner. The neighborhood won't soon forget these three boys running as fast as they could from house to house. We made it most of the way around the neighborhood before it started raining. Mama was glad for the rain because it was soooo hot today. It was muggy and 70 degrees- which is enough to produce one sweaty mama, especially when pushing a stroller up steep hills. She still isn't used to Halloween that doesn't require a snowsuit under your costume.
Special thanks to John's mom and dad for inviting us over just 4 days before John's new baby brother is scheduled to be delivered. We can't wait to meet the little guy!
