Mom & I were searching for the "giant swings" on the UNC Greensboro campus. We loved them when we were kids and thought all the little ones would think they were cool. But they were gone.

Mmm...Yum Yum. I don't know if you get too excited about a hot dog...but these are good...and bright pink...which the kids thought was cool...kinda weird though.

They also have really good ice cream.

The Mizukawa kids.

Shannon helped the kids make this cardboard house. Mom used to make these for us all the time when we were little. We thought they were soooo cool! Some of them were huge, tunnels going everywhere. I always especially liked the spooky halloween version.

Daniel and Sam

Another favorite summer activity when we were little was the slip and slide.

Nora and Julius

It was especially fun to pull out all of our old toys and mom's house for the kids to play with. We had some fun stuff!

We got to visit with a bunch of our good friends in NC. We grew up having Sunday dinners with this crowd. We decided to get together since some of us who don't live here were in town visiting. This is our friend Kristi's little girl...Abigail. She's just a few months younger than Julius and Nora.

Our "extended family". We love them all and it was so good to see everyone.

We all went to kindergarten at First Presbyterian in Greensboro. I just remember it being so fun. We went by to check it out because it's also a really beautiful church building. Lot's of good memories.

Adding Julius to the family height wall.

These two are so cute together.
