Day 1
Tues, Jun 11
Yesterday, we drove to Raleigh and spent the night with Slade and Evan. This morning Anna's friend, Taylor Cloer met us and we started what will probably turn out to be quite a week. Taylor , along with Anna, is going to spend the week with us in Beaufort.
Within an hour after getting on the road, Anna had gotten out and danced around the car while I was getting gas and we had stopped at a Goodwill store where Anna and Taylor got "decked out" with used clothing and paraphernalia. Apparently they had everyone in the store helping them pick out the most outlandish clothing they could find - with none of it matching.

After a relatively calm rest of the drive to Beaufort, the girls quickly fell into the Belle Air Street mode of relaxing.
After a few minutes of settling in and making sure all the hanging chairs were properly functioning, all the ladies wanted to go kayaking across Taylors Creek to see the horses.

After the excursion to Carrot Island, our little neighbor Madelyn, who has been looking forward to Anna's visit for a long time, got home from camp and now I'm outnumbered 4 to 1 (that's four females to one male).

After dinner, the girls get dressed up in their new purchases from the Goodwill Store and we head downtown to introduce Beaufort to "them".
