THE SIMPSONS: Weekend is Bliss

On Saturday we enjoyed the warm weather that is fall in North Carolina; A beautiful sunny day accompanied by a slight (but necessary) breeze. We were off to the Seafood Festival. I don't know what I was expecting, though I should have known, but there were people everywhere. A drive that normally takes 25 minutes took an hour. The roomy sidewalks that we strolled along two months ago, were now a tin of sardines. We had to park 15 blocks away (unless we wanted to pay an incredible fee), which wouldn't have seemed too extreme if it were just Clayton and I but with Greyson, and his little legs, it seemed much longer...but not for long.

(good thing daddy has strong shoulders!)

We enjoyed some really excellent shrimp from the legion "booth" and some good flounder from the Flounders (it's a resturaunt) "booth." Clayton and I was able to pet a 6 month old bamboo shark. Greyson tried but his arm wasn't long enough to reach them (they were hanging out at the bottom of the tank). We'll have to make a date to go to the aquarium and pet the sting rays.
Then Greyson and I took a picture "inside" the gi-normous shark's jaws. Greyson was a little whiny, but overall it was a well spent afternoon.

On Sunday we went to Jason's house for dinner, a little Euchre and some bowling. This was Greyson's first time bowling and he did a GREAT job; he did use bumpers and ramp. Whenever I go bowling the only goal I have is to break 100; I was unsuccessful the first game, but victorious the second and third. Clayton didn't do too well. He does some fancy throw (which I definitely couldn't do) but that's no excuse...Jason uses the same throw and he was the winner every time. It was a great time. It's been too long since I've been bowling, hopefully we'll do it more often since it's less expensive on base.

FYI: I used my camera phone to take these pictures because we forgot the regular camera, so they aren't the best. :o(
