Whew, what a great weekend we had! We were wondering just how to spend Jason's three day weekend and I think we couldn't have had a better time.
Since we've been here Jack has been wanting to go on eventures (that's how he pronounces it) to look for camels. Well, here in Fayetteville, NC we were able to find him one. Friday we drove out to Jambbas Ranch, which is a working ranch/natural zoo where you can pet and feed animals. We think they take in rescue animals, because some were a bit mangy. Anyway, we got to feed a bear (no touching that one!!), goats, an ostrich, llamba's, deer, turtles, elk, buffalo, and even a camel! I've never been so close to so many different animals. We had the best time there. Ethan got a bit freaked out because the goats saw our bucket of food and basically surrounded us (they were roaming free) looking for food. It was too close for Ethan. I got bit by a fireant and have been dealing with a swollen foot ever since, although it's finally getting better now.
We had near 100 degree weather all weekend so we decided it might be fun to head out to the North Carolina beach on Saturday for the day, just to get us excited for our weekend trip to Myrtle Beach, SC next weekend. It was a perfect summer day and we had so much fun playing in the sand and surf. We had lunch outside on the inlet side before walking to the beach. We played for a few hours and wore everyone out. Jason and I came home with a bit of a sunburn. We found out after we got back to Fayetteville that some friends of ours (old neighbors) are at a house there on the beach. It would have been so much fun to see them. We thought we might go back out there today but we were so exhausted from playing there yesterday (sunburns take a lot out of you) coupled with the fact that we'll be at the beach again next weekend, that we decided not to go. Oh well... One of these days we'd like to rent a house on the beach for the a week.
Oh, we got some good news last Thursday. We got another offer on our house!! They are paying in cash and are first time home buyers who don't have to sell a house so this one should actually go through. We're hoping to close this coming weekend or next!! So happy that the house didn't sit for months. Fingers crossed this time works out!
More later....
