Saturday Road Trip

Just another Smith Family Adventure and this time we went to Havelock, North Carolina to Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station. Its only about an hours drive from Camp Lejeune and Monte wanted to check out the skeet range there. It was good to get out of the house and we found a nice little fishing pond there. It was so cute watching Sophie chase the boys around and she was temped on a couple occasions to go into the water. There was a small slope down to the water though and every time she decided to check it out, she would slide and just stop at the edge. I guess that was as close as she wanted to get as she would always turn around and run back up the hill to chase the boys again. She was so wore out from all the running around, that she slept the rest of the trip and once we got home, she passed out again on Monte's boots (as always, just too cute not to take a picture). We are all having such a great time with Sophie. She has been a great addition to our family and Monte and I feel like we were meant to find her and bring her home.

Today we are taking it easy. Monte and I braved the commissary on a payday weekend this morning and got in and out ahead of all of the crowd. If you've seen a commissary on a payday weekend, you know that that is definitely something to be thankful for. We had the usual grocery list, but we also needed a couple items for Nate's science project. He's doing an erupting volcano and we needed some baking soda and dish soap for that. We made the volcano after lunch and are waiting for it to finish drying so he can paint it. Then, once the paint is dry, he's going to start practicing his presentation. He's been so excited to do this and it should be really cute to watch him present the experiment.

Well, I guess that's about it for now. I've been putting away groceries, helping Nate with the Volcano and getting a roast into the oven for dinner. So now, its my turn to sit down and relax. Have a great week everyone and God Bless! :)
