Summer is just around the corner!

The great thing about North Carolina is that we get a jumpstart on warm weather a little bit earlier than others. :) On April 7th, we had a bunch of the neighborhood kids playing all afternoon in the backyard, in their swimsuits, having water fights and just enjoying the gorgeous weather! I still couldn't believe that they were in their SWIMSUITS! We even borrowed our neighbor's kiddie pool and did a home-made water slide. :)

One of Doug's most favorite things to do is fish, so we couldn't pass up another weekend without fishing at Latta Plantation AND Jetton Park.  Fishing with a 2 year old and a 4 year old is an interesting thing... Trey is SO excited about going fishing, but his patience lasts all of about 30 seconds before he starts wondering when we'll actually catch a fish :).  We managed to fish 2 days in a row, for several hours, and caught... wait for it.... NOTHING!!! But, it was still fun, and I'm sure we'll go again many, many more times before the end of the summer.

I also took a few minutes the other evening to snap some pictures of the kids with our kitty cat, Boris.  Boris is almost 17 years old, and an AWESOME cat! He is such a trooper when it comes to Trey carrying him around, petting him, feeding him,... I have honestly never seen a cat able to tolerate toddlers they way he does. :) If only our other cat, Cesar, were that understanding!
