Local Fun in Apex...

It brought back good memories of gem mining in our backyard when we went to this funny little place in Apex. The kids enjoyed finding polished rocks; Veronica also found an arrowhead among the discarded rocks on the ground. Later in the day, we went to Apex Lake to introduce Rachel and Ben to geocaching.

Our 5-night stay at Erika’s was very relaxing and low-key with several delicious meals courtesy of chef Michael. It was very sweet of Erika to host a swim party at their community pool for some of Veronica’s 3rd grade classmates; Ashlynn was thrilled to see Holly from our old neighborhood. We also enjoyed seeing our old neighbors, Dave and Elise (and really appreciated the loan of Dave’s car), and visiting our house for the first time since the reconstruction. Jon Provost, our contractor, was nice enough to meet me over there for a walk-thru and I was really impressed with his work.
