What can you do with a little over 24 hours and a road trip to Waynesboro?  Well we found out a couple of weekends ago when we made the trip up to enjoy some of the fall foliage.  First up, Saturday morning we leave North Carolina at 6am.  Five hours later we arrive and grab a quick lunch at Nana’s and then off to the Art Festival in downtown Waynesboro that afternoon.  To finish the day a huge spaghetti dinner at home with a couple of good movies on Netflix.  Sunday morning all the boys went with Gung Gung and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel.  A little later we made the trip up to Humpback Rock in SNP for a few photos.  Actually a little over 700 photos between the 4 of us.  Sam took the majority of them as he was looking for a photo to enter into the Spring Art show at school.  A quick trip back to the house for sandwiches and pizza, then finally a stop on the mountain for the annual photo of the boys.   Whew…. just thinking about it makes us a little tired.  🙂  Tell us which of Sam’s photos you like best!   (Click on the photos to enlarge them and get a better look)

Even though Sam claims he wasn’t sleeping we think the boys got at least a couple of hours of sleep on the trip up.

Alex and Sam had their last regular season soccer match last Monday.   For Alex it was his last soccer match at Trinity as he will be graduating this year.  Since it was the last game of the season, it was also Senior Night and the coach gave a short speech about each of the 3 seniors after the game was over.  The game ended in a 8-0 victory with Alex getting another goal off of a corner kick (that would be his 3rd corner kick goal of the season) and he had several assists in the game, including one off of a another corner kick that his friend Jeremy headed in for a goal.  Sam looked a little rusty out on the pitch as the 2 weeks off due to the rain didn’t do him a lot of good.

  Rain, Rain and some more rain – almost all of the recent soccer games were cancelled so we don’t have any new soccer photos (at least not from a game).  The last regular season game is tonight and it will be Senior night as well.  Hopefully Mom will get some good photos to post in a couple of days.  The tournament is next weekend and right now they are tied for 1st place… hopefully this year Alex can take home the State Champion banner as they have placed 2nd a couple of times over the last few years.
  We do have some school photos to post – see below.  Sam’s photo is probably the best school photo we have ever had of him.  Most of the time we haven’t been keeping the photos of the boys because they really aren’t that great but this one is a keeper.  Alex had his taken as well, but they didn’t turn out quite as well so we will take them again in a few weeks.  All Seniors have to wear a tux in their photos too.
