Friday, Dec 30 - Friday Jan 6
This was a rare treat for us. Slade, Evan and Anna came down to Beaufort and spent the week. This is the most time we've had to enjoy Slade and the grandchildren ever. And we loved every minute!
Evan had received a "rip stick" for Christmas and we borrowed one for Anna. The two of them (plus the older kid - Slade) rode them in the driveway every chance they got. Before the end of the week they were all getting very good on them.
One day, the old double decker bus was doing special tours of Beaufort and we all jumped aboard for a different view of Beaufort.
We dropped by the Maritime Museum after the bus ride and Evan had his picture made with his Great Great Grandfather, John B. Quidley, who was a lighthouse keeper at Cape Lookout Lighthouse in 1911.
On Wednesday, January 4, we drove to Williamsburg, Virginia for a two night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge which features an 80,000 sq ft indoor water park. This was our third year visiting Great Wolf Lodge with the Grandkids, but the first with Slade. Having him with us made it very special (and a lot more fun) for all of us.

| Evan (and Slade) got real good on the boogie boards. They both got to the point that they could do 360's on the ride. |
 |
| Anna could walk across the bobbing logs without falling or touching the net. |
