Warm weekend = FUN

Well depending on who you ask, will determine how much fun we had. Kevin and I had a blast. The kids were acting like you were pulling teeth. We went to the Tryon Palace in New Bern, it was free day and you know how free and the Roarks go hand in hand. It is a very old palace that used to house political people, I didn't pay that close attention to the history. I was more interested in the scenery. We also visited a house that President George Washington stayed in.







They had people all dressed up and acting as if we were back in the day. They were playing music it was very neat. After we took Kaden to the first Pepsi store in the world. (he was the only one who didn't complain the whole time) He got to get a Pepsi as a treat. Then we walked on the main street downtown New Bern and ate some lunch at a quaint little restaurant. It was very relaxing.


Sunday was even warmer 71 degrees, so after Kaden's baseball evaluation me, Kaden, and Kali took a bike ride at River Park North. Tanner wouldn't go he said he couldn't ride his bike because of his arm. Yea right.

Oh how fun! That looked a lot like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. I am a little disappointed you didn't pay closer attention to the history, kim. :-( Oh well - glad you enjoyed some aspect of it. I am getting excited to come see you guys! Only about a month!

I love all of your pictures! I especially liked the ones of Kaden leaning in the arch, all the kiddos in front of the brick wall and the kids running to the building! So cute. Good job! It looks like you guys had lots of fun! By the way, I wouldn't have paid any attention to the history either. Sorry to disappoint Wes but BORING with a capitol B!

I'm glad to see Kevin at more of your family outings. You are a very cute family. I'm glad the kids are able to wear their sweatshirts.
Love, Mom
