In no particular order, here are some of the photos from our trip last week. For what it's worth, I know that the captions don't align with the photos perfectly, but if you wait for me to figure out how to do that...well, it will probably be next Thanksgiving before they get posted!
Zeke and his great grandparents Hazel and Norman. We stayed at their house for most of the trip. As you can see, Zeke clearly didn't get enough attention over our Thanksgiving trip.
Zeke was fascinated by the first cake he has seen -- he didn't know that when we have really special happy occasions, we set our cakes on fire! Sprout Daddy had a birthday while we were away -- he turned old (or at least the same age as me).
As a trip bonus, we also got to get together with a friend from our college days, Kimberlee, who now lives in Greenville getting her graduate degree. It was great to see her as it had been too many years since we had seen her and we had someone new to introduce to her!
We spent 12 hours in Raleigh at the best bed and breakfast in town -- Aunt Norma and Uncle Bob's. The food was good, the lodging very comfortable, and the hosts very hospitable. They have built a beautiful apartment building that we got to finally see. Here is one of the rare photos of all three of us together as we stand in the kitchen there. Zeke is doing the ear pulling thing that he did the whole trip and in about 70% of all the photos we took.
On the way home, we stopped in Charlotte to have lunch with my dad. I couldn't find a shot where we were all looking at the camera! What do you think? Can you see the family resemblance?
Trish took Zeke on a tour of his great grandparents' place. Zeke wanted to do his own walking.
Zeke and Trish at the pond. Trish told Zeke that the moon had fallen in pond and that the trees were growing down into the water. Zeke may not quite understand reflections yet, so she might have convinced him.
One of the little kittens that has adopted Aaron's grandmother. This little guy was so pathetic and cute. Anyone need a fluffy orange kitten? If we weren't at maximum occupancy already, I might have crumbled and asked Aaron for a kitten. What I don't have a photo of is Zeke grabbing the kitten's ear when we showed him the fluffball. We're going to have to work on being more gentle!
I love this photo! Zeke is manning his great grandfather's produce stand. He's ready to sell you some collards, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. Just don't ask him to make change because he hasn't learned how to count yet. Also, he will try and put your money in his mouth.
