Cara has officially been living with us in South Carolina for a month now, and the time has definitely flown by! We have done quite a few things over the last month, so here is the recap of the events:

-Our kickball team, The Reedy Balls (a pun on Greenville’s downtown waterfall – Reedy Falls) finished up the regular season ranked in 3rd place. Sadly, we weren’t able to take part in the postseason tournament because many of our team members had prior arrangements. Cara even got to join our team for the last game and we are excited for the summer kickball league to start up again this week (new team name – Jiminy Kick-it!).

We are NOT the Champions!

-We spent Memorial Day Weekend in Atlanta, GA and also celebrated Cara’s 21st birthday! Highlights of the trip included a Braves baseball game, the Georgia Aquarium, the Coca-Cola museum, and Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary and Rehabilitation Center. We also got to see the home where Martin Luther King Jr. was born and the church that he preached in. We enjoyed spending time together and letting Cara have her “first drink”.

-Cori set up a surprise get-together for David’s 28th birthday at Quaker Stake and Lube’s All-You-Can-Eat Wings night! We got to spend the evening with a bunch of our friends and eat A LOT of chicken wings!

-David travelled back to SD for a wedding (congrats Tate & Shelby!!) and got to spend some quality time with the family. He played in a golf tournament with his Dad and Father-in-Law and ended up taking first place overall!

We are the Champions!

-We all took a great hike last weekend to see the beautiful Rainbow Falls which are located about an hour north of Greenville in Jones Gap State Park. This was our 2nd time on this trail and the hike was definitely as strenuous as we remember (~1.5 miles uphill) but the view from the top was worth it for sure!

-Summer has definitely arrived in Greenville. Temperatures are constantly in the 90s with a lot of humidity. We commonly get afternoon thunderstorms which only add to the humidity. So, we have resorted to spending a lot of time at the pool to cool off! Cori and Cara even bought floaties to wade around the pool on!
