Carolina Panthers!!

Yes, I know-- we are a Patriot's Family.... but we DO live in the Carolinas so we have some love for our Panthers too. The family was able to score some sweet seats for the Panthers Fan Fest night where we got to watch a practice before the season started. The night ended with an awesome laser show-- it was awesome!

Beat the Heat

Have I mentioned that we live near an amusement park? NO??! Well, here's an example of 'just another day' for the Burke kids!

Starting the morning off right 

Sun's Out Guns Out

Mimi and Papi come to visit!!!

MIMI AND PAPI!!!!! The kids have been waiting for this visit all summer- they love Mimi and Papi so much. We were able to do a lot and make a lot of great memories. They were able to Mikey's last football games where he got his trophy, did some fun swimming, of course Mimi did some damage at the outlets (Thanks Mimi!) and they played some fun games with the kids too. Mommy and Daddy were even able to sneak in a date night!
Come back soon Mimi and Papi!

Date night!

SORRY!

VBS time!

Time for Vacation Bible Camp for the kiddos-- they've attended this same camp at a local church for a couple of years now and really like it. Its only for the mornings but they have a blast playing with their friends.... and mommy can escape for a couple of hours and maybe sneak in some fun too!

Mommy- Daughter Date at Carowinds

My girl is getting so big. Sometimes I just can't believe it and am besides myself. I decided to take her on a special date to Carowinds all by herself (and at night!) so she could ride some of the big rides that she doesn't get to do when her brother is with us. It was a fun and rewarding night for us both.
