Finally. The long awaited North Carolina pictures. We start out with a shot of Mark and his "little" nephew Stephen in the background.

Cousin Jacob and Zach at Carowinds. They really had a good time together.

Closer. Mark, cousin Stephen, Zach, Parker, cousin Jacob, Mitchell.

All the crew at Carowinds. Somehow they all managed to be wearing Carolina blue. Mark, cousin Stephen, Zach, Parker, cousin Jacob, Mitchell.

Blue steel.

Everytime I tried to get Mitchell to pose with these scenes at Carowinds, he would do some awesome pose or start dancing.

Mitchell loved this tower ride. He said it was an alien ship.

Dancing up a storm.

Lazytown Sporticopter.

We went to NC for Mark's 20th reunion and somehow this is the only picture I captured with our camera. I did, however, take a ton of pictures of Mark and his friend Richard (right) with those disposable cameras they left on all the tables.

We got to ride some horses at a friend of Uncle Byron's house.

There were a lot of crickets. This was much cooler than all the horses.

Mitchell was a good rider.

We went to the North Carolina State Fair and had a good time. This was the most exciting ride Zach rode. He was dizzy for hours ;).

Love that horsey.

Parker is a big boy and rides the swing.

Parker feeds the miniature bulls.

Zach took great satisfaction in being able to feed all the animals in the petting zoo with one handful of feed (I'm not so sure how the animals felt about his accomplishment.)
