Deb had to work tonight so Sam and I loaded up the Turtle and went camping in Uwharrie National Forest.

My camera battery died, so I only had the iPhone, but this is Sam as ALice, but from Tim Burton's version.

New glasses. Sam has mentioned problems reading the board and computers at school. She tested only a .25 near sighted, which normally is not a prescription, but since she has mentioned it so many times, she got her first pair of glasses.

A busy day in NY. We started with a gathering with the Land Cruiser gang, it was great to see old friends and a row of wonderful 40 series trucks! Then we hosted a party with Sam's friends at Putt-Putt and visited Nancy in Scotsville. We ended the day trying to get in another game of miniture golf, but found this rainbow instead.

A long fun filled day. The Southern Pines group ride. We could call it the Tacoma group ride, we all drive the same truck ; ) Then the family headed to Durham for a Bulls vs the Rochester Red Wings game. Sam got an autograph from Rene Rivera. I could tell he was an older player so I looked him up and learned a new baseball term, unfortunately for Rene, it's not a good one. His major league stats are close to the Mendoza Line: that is an expression deriving from the name of shortstop Mario Mendoza, whose lifetime batting average is taken to define the threshold of incompetent hitting. Doh! The ballpark (a newer one than the movie Bull Durham used, is very nice (Frontier Field is nicer) but sadly the game was rained out without a pitch, so much for 40% of rain.

No local fireworks and everyone has to work on the 5th, so sparklers have to do this 4th.
