Great time, Great weather!!!!

First we started our day out with pancakes, that were yummy and of course that Bruce fixed for us.

He does the best job of making pancakes. Then we took off to town and went to the tanger outlet mall. We had a lot of fun, mainly just looking and

did purchase a few items. We have a photo below of the cute little dress that Bethany bought for Tabi. Then I bought a top for TaraKate and Tia, that will match her little dress. We think they will look adorable in them. The photo above is of me and the girls right before we left for our day. After shopping we went and ate at a restaurant there on the parkway, Texas Roadhouse. It was so yummy!!!

After our meal we went to a movie we have been wanting to see, Narnia - Prince Caspian. It was really good, we all really liked it. It was a lot of fun.

Here the girls are by the sign. It was very bright and sunny today; hence all the glare, and yes Bethany had a tank top on under her top; it just doesn't show here because of the glare.

Here are some photos of the house, and don't let the address fool you, there is no beach around here, only beautiful mountains. We all thought that was pretty funny, the name of the drive it is on. Let me tell you the roads are very steep and very very curvy. A little scary the first time up, but we know we can do it now. Of course Bruce has no problem driving on it, and can take us anywhere without getting lost, we even found it in the dark last night.

The house has three levels and then evidently there is a storage area underneath. The decks are really neat on the back, and it looks so pretty out there. The sun was so beautiful today!!! God's creation is so awesome!!!!

The photo below is of the front of the house. It is a really nice place.

Here are the cute outfits!!! We know three little girls that will just make them look even cuter. We miss them, and wish they could be here with us. We always enjoy vacations with them. They are having a great time though at home going to VBS this week. Love you girls!!!!

One little bad thing that happened though today was a little bit after we got back to the house Marisa realized that she had left her retainer (orthodontic) at the restaurant, in a napkin on the table, oops. I did call the restaurant, but to no avail, it was not there; obviously had been scooped up with all the trash and no one even noticed, it is so light weight and small. So I have a call in to the orthodontist. Needless to say Marisa is quite upset about it, but it was an accident and she didn't mean for it to happen. She will have to be more careful next time. She isn't used to wearing it all the time; before she only had to wear it at night; so it is a pain to have to take it out to eat and when you are out, that becomes a problem. Normally she has her case with her, and puts it in her purse and has it there; but this time she hadn't taken her purse, so didn't have the case. Oh well just one of life's mishaps. Unfortunately we will have to pay for another one, that's the bad part, and that is why she feels so badly. Hopefully the orthodontist can get it ordered soon, and she will not be without it for too long; as her teeth move whenever she goes without it.
