Sunset at our barbecue

We barbecued with four other families at Jordan Lake yesterday. The weather was perfectly warm with a gentle breeze. The sunset was beautiful, the food was great, and I had to take a picture of how gorgeous it was! The funniest part of the afternoon was when Nicole saw that some of the guys were going to go swimming so she ran off to the lake, taking off her clothes as she went. By the time Jim got her, she was down to her underwear yelling "go swimming, go swimming!" She's a fast little girl! I laugh every time I think about Jim chasing her down.

We played a little sand volleyball as the sun set. If you asked me years ago if I thought I'd ever live in North Carolina, I would have been like north what? But now, I can't think of a prettier, funner, kid-friendly, closer to beach, friendlier, more historic, non-expensive, more perfect state to live in! If only family felt the same :-)

That "family" part is a problem. I keep telling all those Arizonans that they aren't needed there but they won't listen to me.
North Carolina looks like a lovely place. Someday I'll get there.
