Family

This past week I had the wonderful opportunity of having my sister, Kimber, and her family come visit me. This was the first time any of my family has come to North Carolina since I moved here so it was great to finally show some of my family where I'm living, going to school, working, etc.

After numerous delays and long flights, Kimber and her family made it to Greensboro Tuesday night. As you can tell, they were all extremely tired!



While they were here we showed them around the UNCG campus as well as downtown Greensboro. We stopped at the Grasshoppers baseball stadium and took some pictures.

(I guess the green, Alien-looking man is supposed to be a grasshopper?!)


I never noticed that the bars on the gate are baseball bats!

We also went to the arboretum and played at the playground. The kids loved it! I'm so grateful to live so close to a park!


If you are a member of my family, this picture only needs one word to describe it...ZELIARD!


Me and Gracie had a little date and went to Cold Stone to visit David. Gracelyn loved her cotton candy ice cream but couldn't quite figure out how her cone was made of a waffle! ;)



We also went to the Greensboro Historical Museum. They have a really kids-friendly exhibit right now that the kids enjoyed.

All in all, the visit was wonderful and I can't wait for more of my family to come to visit us! (hint, hint!)
