Ringing in the New Year

 Over New Years weekend we drove down to North Carolina
to visit Uncle Ted, Aunt Annie, Abby and Barrett.
We had a blast visiting their new farm in Lenoir!
 The cousins enjoyed running around
and playing together.

 I can't believe how quickly my niece is growing up!

 Aunt Annie brought along a fun toy called "stomp rockets."
 First, she had to build the launch pad.
 Then, Uncle Ted loaded on a rocket.
 The kids took turns "stomping" the bellows
to send the nerf rocket soaring into the air...
 ... and then they all ran as fast as they could to the rocket.
Repeat until kids grow weary of the game.
Stet that. 
The kids will never grow weary of the game...
they just grow weary.
 So, you take them on a hike
to expend every last ounce of energy before loading back into the car.
 The Ted Georges.




It works like a charm.
After a day of fresh air, good exercise and lots of laughter with their cousins,
the kids took amazing naps in the car.
We hope this will be the first of many, many visits to Ted's farm.
Thanks for having us, guys!
