"The Best Day Ever!"

After a long and successful day shopping with my mom Pat approached me with a great idea... He wanted to go through the lights at Saluda Shoals with Jackie and her girls. I was a little tired after a full day of shopping but I can't resist Christmas lights!
After everyone got something to eat, Pat got everything cleaned out of his car, and we played babies for a bit we were all ready to go! Jordan and Julia were exctied from the minute we got them in the truck and they got REALLY excited when Joey climbed in back to sit in between them. It was quite a site! Joey and the girls in the back and Jackie, Pat and I in the front. After Jordan established that I would be safe and had a seat belt in the small middle seat, we were on our way!
It is so much fun to do activities like that with kids (and Pat) because they get SO excited! We were all impressed with the lights. Julia didn't know what to do, she just stared out the window and occasioanlly she would hear an upbeat song and dance to the music. When we asked Jordan if she was enjoying herself, she said it was, "the best day ever." (*Note: She had already been to see Bethlehem at school, to a movie with Grandma, and to the doctor with a busted knee.)
