Trying Something New...

I have wanted to try paddle boarding for a little while now - not necessarily to find a new hobby, but rather to give something new a whirl.  While not on his short list to try himself, Ryan was sweet enough to oblige me this weekend.  

The weather itself proved to be cold and windy by North Carolina's standards, but the water temperature was amazing.  Despite the cold and wind, we had a great time learning to paddle board.

We started on the boards sitting, moved to kneeling, and then quickly graduated to standing.






We can also celebrate the fact neither Ryan nor myself fell off our boards.  Win, win!  I am thankful for Ryan joining me - together we had fun trying something new!

Bulls Baseball

Quinn was able to come home this weekend with the extra day off for Labor Day.  We had a pretty quiet weekend, but we were able to catch a Durham Bulls baseball game one evening.  



The weather was absolutely perfect, the game was action packed, and it is always our happy place being inside the ballpark.  




It was also a great day to be a Bulls fan.  It was a good game, but not necessarily a close game!
