Checking things out!

We enjoyed another fun weekend at the Deuce. We arrived Friday night after driving up in some rain and getting stuck behind a car accident. The boys were thrilled to get there and play with Oma and Opa.
Saturday was a relaxing day. The boys, Oma and I ran a few errands in the morning while Daddy took a bike ride. The weather was absolutely beautiful. After their naps that afternoon we all went to the park. The boys loved it. Jack was all over the place as always. This time Daddy was there to help chase him, plus Opa too!! Despite a fall on the bridge and cut lip, Jack had a blast. Ewan likes to swing and watch all the action.
The highlight, though, was when we left the park. Oma and Opa picked up a pizza and took the boys home while Josh and I went out for a grown up dinner! We went to somewhere we hadn't been yet, The Quarry. The atmosphere was great and food wonderful. And better yet, no kids at the table!!! My duck was delicious as was Josh's steak. The wine was great too; need to find that one again somewhere.
Then Sunday after lunch we went to Greenville for a bike race. We knew Jack would love it since he couldn't get enough of the Tour de France. As it happens, we stopped at Publix on the way into town and when I got out the race was just getting ready to go by the parking lot!! So we moved the car and found a good shady spot. Jack got thrilled when the lead VIP cars and motorcycles went by....then the bikes. This was almost too much excitement for him!!! He kept saying "more bike"!!! So after they all went by we headed to downtown and parked on Main Street. We found a nice spot to sit and watch the race. In total we saw the race go by three times. Jack loved it each and every time!!! He would yell "car car car bike bike bike" and get so incredibly excited. He loved clapping as soon as he saw the first bike go by!! We'll have to see it we can post a video clip of him watching the race....it is just so adorable!
Jack slept all the way to Columbia after the race. He woke up shortly before we got home....and he woke up clapping and say "bike bike bike"!!!!
