Nick's favorite retreat and a pool party

On the road again.... Got off the plane, slept in my bed one night, and we were off again! Drew and I took a spur of the moment trip to visit the fam in Murphy, NC. Nick LOVES his mountain house and is always telling me how fabulous it is, so Drew and I decided to go visit Nick, Helen, and Madison on Saturday.

The MOUNTAIN HOUSE!!! Look who was waiting for us on the front porch dressed in his Clemson clothes from head to toe... Adorable!!! Nick had us all betting on horses while we watched the KY Derby. Guess who one? That would be ME!
Maddie and I begged for some ice cream when Nick was giving the tour of downtown Murphy.
Fat girl in a little shirt on top of a BIG mountain! So beautiful!

When we got home we had two furry children dying to play with us. We put our suits on and hit the pool. It was the FIRST time we have swam in the pool! About 500th time for Tyrone Cawood, but our first! Poor Drew now looks like he has been involved in a terrible mauling. He is covered in scratches from Tyrone jumping and trying to swim with him. We are working on "swim the other way Tyrone" you CRAZY dog. I tried my hardest to be sympathetic but if you saw Drew you would be hysterical. I'm talking 30 scratches all over his body :) hehe. I'm not laughing... straight face...

Jack even jumped in!
