Visit to South Carolina

Click here to play the Pay it Forward game!!


Here are a few pictures of our weekend in Rock Hill, SC visiting 2 of Richard's brothers and their families.

Richard and his mom. She is only 4'10...maybe 4'11 so I feel tall around her:) She is a great mother-in-law and an incredible cook.
This is Femi. She is 10 and one of Fia's favorite cousins! She lives in Durham, NC.

Even though the wind was blowing and it was not too cool for me to swim, the kids really wanted to try the swimming pool. They lasted longer than I thought!


A trip to the park is always fun!

One thing we all enjoyed playing with was the Wii. They had the Wii fit and the sports one...hard to explain....but this is the ski jump. The game sensed your
balance and as you moved it would guide the player in the game.
It was so funny to see everyone trying to stay low, pick up speed....

and throw your body upwards at just the right time to jump off the ski ramp!
It was harder than it looked!

here is Richard getting into the action

everyone had their own technique
When everyone comes here for Christmas this year we are going to have a tournament with the Wii....so we plan to get one before then so we can practice and not be defeated on our home turf!! it was a fun weekend:)

Wow! With everyone coming to your house, will you have room to fit everyone...or are they not spending the night? It will be lots of fun playing the Wii.

we will have enough room.....when we had everyone here back in 2002 the house was in its original form! No additions at all....so this time it will be a lot roomier!

That looks like a really fun trip! I really want the wii fit... I've been waiting for a review on if it's as cool as it looks... You may have just sold me :)
