trip to Charlotte

once again, i prove terrible at taking pictures!! at least i took two!! we were back in the charlotte area for a couple of days, the kids and i anyway. we traveled with our wonderful friends (carmen, oliver and evan) to visit some more wonderful friends: dan, laura, ed and sue (ed and sue are also dan's parents). our first stop was ed and sue's for a yummy supper. then, to leave them in peace (we are sure they felt as if a jungle had ascended upon their house with the 4 little ones squealing and climbing all over the place!), we headed to dan and laura's to put the kids to bed. the next day we loaded up and laura guided us to IKEA, where we met up with my sweet sis and nephew!! i had never been to one before. it was much larger than i expected and it felt like we rushed through it in 4 HOURS!! i look forward to going back in the future. it seemed sort of like a museum the way that you walk through it on a "path" with tons of living space sets (not sure how else to describe it) that everything you see is an item you could purchase! really neat. also, i wish i had a picture of this, i am sure we were a site to see: there were 5 ladies and 5 kiddos. so each of us had a cart (4)/stroller (1) and a child! believe it or not, the 10 of us (carts, stroller and all) could all fit in the elevator...with room to spare! it was a fun time!
thanks so much for having us dan and laura!
and, as promised, the 2 pictures:

IKEA was a blast with you guys! too bad we got separated from the other 2 carts for most of the time! next time you visit we can go back if you want to! :)
