Filson recently got rainboots, so I bought Ian some "new to him" ones on Friday so he can keep up with Big Bro

Filson in ActionOn Friday, after the boys finished running around outside playing in their underwear & rainboots, we dropped them off at Giggles & John & I had dinner at the beach to celebrate 5 years of wedded bliss!! We enjoyed it & the kids had a blast & were worn out by the time we picked them up.
Saturday morning Filson came into our room at 6:30am with his shin guards in his hands telling us he was ready to go to soccer. Yes, the day had finally arrived for him to start his soccer league, but we had to explain that nobody would be on the field for another 2.5hrs, so he could relax & eat some breakfast first. He loved it & discovered his friend that lives near us was on his same team, so he was not ready to leave when it was over.
Luckily, we had a trip to Raleigh to look forward to, so he quickly changed his mood when he realized we were headed for a sleepover with Vada! We headed to downtown Raleigh & spent a couple hours at BugFest, which was a really neat event they have with many booths set up outside, as well as free admission to the Museum of Natural Sciences. It was amazing to see all the activities & information they provided & the massive crowd of people that it brought in. I wasn't as interested in petting the flying hissing cockroach as Filson was, but it was definitely a great event for kids!
We went back to Patrick & Anna Leigh's house & hung out before John & I headed out to see Garrison Keilor's Prairie Home Companion show in Cary. It was held at a newly renovated outdoor amphitheatre & was very entertaining. Anna Leigh so generously took in an extra 2 kids for the night, so John & I were able to spend 2 childless nights this weekend....what a treat ; ) It was a great weekend & we had a blast with the Cunningham's, as always!!
