Instead of going to the beach this year, we decided to spend a long weekend at Lake Gaston with the Raynors. We headed down there Saturday around lunch time.
Saturday morning Corey ran in the Swamp Stomp with some girls from church.
We had a delay when our tire blew out on 95!
It took us 3 hours and 30 minutes to get there by the time we drove back to Rocky Mount to get a tire and then back to get the boat we left on 95.
The kids kept busy by eating snacks!
We made it there and the kids wanted to go visit the Stones.
Ready to go!
