Basketball and Buddies - Trip to Downtown Raleigh

Life Lately Around Here...
Ella is LOVING basketball!   
In Action 
Brooklynn and Melanie and Owen came to watch 
Caleb trying to get a selfie of the boys 
My boys 
Owen and I ate Fun Dip and he wanted to show our tongues
Mine was red and his was blue - can you tell? 
Ella was so excited to see them after the game 
Raynor Cousins 
Caleb is loving basketball too - his team is really aggressive this year! 
We went over to Claire's house on Sunday night during the Daytona Race - the kids had a great time playing and we had a great time catching up!
Playing guitar 
Corey was off for Presidents Day and it was nice so we took a ride on the tractor he is redoing 
Walking Oreo and the kids were practicing their dribbling 
Amanda was in town so we met up at Meredith College - where our friendship began in 1999

We also stopped at the NC State Bell Tower 
We took a tour of downtown Raleigh 
We were learning about NC History 
A plaque about the Vietnam War 
Inside the Capital Building 
The Rotunda 
NC History 
More NC History 
At the Governors Office 
In a legislative room 
It was really pretty 
The kids liked looking around
Ella in the library 
Caleb looking over the balcony 
Ella in a room where science was studied - she loves science! 
We walked over to the Legislative Building and it was cold! 
NC State Seal 
The NC Flag 
Inside the building there were lots of fountains 
Steps leading up 
Inside the Senate chambers 
Really neat to go in! 
Caleb in the Senate Seat 
Ella's turn 
The whole crew
We were standing outside his office talking and they asked us if we wanted to go inside the Senate chambers and also gave us NC Peanuts as a snack 
With his NC Peanuts 
We had lunch at the Snack Bar at the legislative building 
Catching up - we hadn't seen each other since May 
Our last stop was the NC History Museum 
Ella liked the ships 
Reading about pirates 
Can't believe our boys are so big now! 
The museum was very well done! 
Ella's turn 
At the Wright Brothers exhibit 
I was snapping pictures we might could use for Caleb's NC Project 
With the tractor 
A little village that sang 
Milking the cow 
Trying to lift a bucket of water 
Caleb loved the places where he could put his head thru and take a picture 
Greetings from my crew :) 
Ella always wanted to take a picture after Caleb 
She found a camera and wanted a picture 
Army Recruitment Office 
In a cave 
The kids were very cooperative with pictures 
In a 1920s style soda shop 
The Capital Building 
Ice Cream Treat 
We had such a fun day - our time is never long enough! 
We got Ella a shirt from Meredith College - this was her first trip there!
