A Visit From The Manns

Earlier this Spring, the Mann family piled into their car and made the drive down to Winston-Salem for a quick weekend visit. Mary Grace loved playing host, and especially enjoyed taking James, Owen and Maggie to the Children's Museum and Old Salem. We had beautiful weather the whole time, so we spent a lot of time outside playing different games like "Ghost in the Graveyard," "Octopus," Kickball and Soccer. Mary Grace is lucky to have so many great cousins; we wish she could see all of them more often.

It is starting to get extremely hot, so we have spent a lot of time at the beach and pool. Mary Grace is a fantastic swimmer, and has already braved the diving board and infamous water slide on Daniel Island (three different times)! I am going to have her surfing by the end of the summer.
