Visit from Uncle Paul

Natalie and Claire's Uncle Paul and his girlfriend, Sharron, came to visit a week ago.  The girls were excited to see them.  Natalie kept talking about them coming days before they arrived.  We went to our neighborhood pig pickin' (pig roast).  They had the local fire department come by to let the kids check out the fire engines.  Natalie also enjoyed dancing around with her friend Dylan.

We also took the girls to the NC State Fair.  Natalie loves to look at all the horses when we drive around Wake Forest.  She was very excited to go on her first horse ride.  I thought for sure she would be scared but she loved it and wanted to go on again.  The girls checked out the farm animals and got some balloons.  We also tried some fried oreos.  Claire loved the macaroni and cheese.

We spent some time hanging out with Uncle Paul and Sharron at home playing and watching the Packer vs. Viking game.

Also while Paul was in town, we went to check out the Tobacco District in Durham, UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University.  We were disappointed by the Tobacco District.  Although the area has been restored, there's really nothing there to do or see except for a large water fountain near the Lucky Strikes building.  We walked around Franklin Street near UNC and then explored the Duke Chapel which is beautiful.
