August in North Carolina

We got out first taste of how hot August could be in North Carolina. The month included lots of time at the neighborhood pool to cool off, especially when our air conditioning system went on the fritz (we have since had that fixed...). Cameron and Isabel have really enjoyed the pool. See the video below.

At the end of August, we all went out to Burnsville, NC, to visit with the Lunn's. We spent a great weekend at a golf resort and enjoyed some hikes, cool days and cool nights, and great sunsets with a red sun. Thanks to Matt, Samantha, Little Olivia, Tom and Mandy for hosting us for the weekend and putting up with our little balls of energy. Some photos from the trip are below.

One of the great sunsets. Isabel and Cameron liked seeing the orange/red sun go down behind the mountains to go to sleep.
