A whole week has gone by ~

Its been crazy ~ first off, the funeral was awful, horrible and just something I was not prepared for. It was however very nice to see all of Trenton's family on his daddies side. Bryna and Johnny, Scott and Summer, Meghan and Bri and Ian.... I got to meet Ian's new wife Lori who came up to me and said 'you must be aunt angie'... and I also got to spend some time talking to and getting to know Samantha (Trenton's daddy's girlfriend). Awkward much??
It was a difficult experience for the entire family as they always felt sure that PaPa would go after a lengthy hospital stay.... but this is the way he would have wanted to go.

As soon as the funeral ended, I wisked Trenton off to the beach (with permission from his daddy of course) for a few fun filled days at North Myrtle. It was a good time and he was a bit moody at times, but that is to be expected. The poor guy has had a rough week. Overall, I think the condo route was definitely the way to go with me, Chris and 4 kids!!! We spent our days on the beach and at the pool and our nights playing cards and putting together puzzles. It was lots of fun.

We did our traditional 4th of July fireworks lasat night (yes, July 3rd) at Lake Benson park. Great play area for the kids, lots of goodies by local non-profits, and great picnic area....followed by the NC Symphony and then a great fireworks show. Its also the most organized exiting strategy I have ever seen from a fireworks show.... I am not exagerrating when I say that we can be out of there in less than 10 minutes.... last time I checked, it was almost an hour to get out of Regency.... that's just a no-brainer to me folks!!!

Katie and Kellie flew home today, we dropped Ryan off at his mommy's and then Trenton at his daddy's and now we are just vegging at home.. enjoying the peace and quiet....
