Angels

Harper and I traveled to Cary this weekend to celebrate Uncle Paul at the Angels Among Us event at Duke.  This event raises funds for the fight against brain cancer and brought in 2 million dollars this year!  We were able to watch Uncle Paul take his survivor walk and then went out for a wonderful breakfast after the event in downtown Durham.  It was nearly ninety degrees, but we went to Pullen Park for the afternoon where Harper had a blast.

We had an amazing breakfast at Rue Cler where Harper stuffed herself with beignets.
    
Riding the train at Pullen Park!
    
    
    
    
    
    
   
Harper was very excited for the boat ride. 
   
   
    
She refused to get off of the boat after the first ride so we had to do another.
    
    
Boating baby!
    
After the boats, we rode the merry-go-round.  Harper picked this pretty horse.
   
She got a little nervous before it started so we had to make a change in plans.
   
I had to ride on the horse with Harps :)

We opened our late Easter presents after the park.
    
    
We had dinner with the Groundwaters and Grandma and went for a Goodberry's treat afterwards.

Great Granddad and Lona's 80th Birthday Bash

To finish off the Scheer/Schneider week in Charlotte, we celebrated Great Granddad and Lona's 80th birthdays.  Great Granddad and Lona arrived in Charlotte Friday morning.  We had a barbecue dinner that night and then a fancy lunch party at the Dunhill Hotel on Saturday to celebrate. The party was a great success with a perfectly private room for the celebration, amazing food and an awesome cake.  We had a wonderful time seeing everybody.  Happy birthday Great Granddad and Lona!

Hoppy Easter 2017

Alex's family is visiting Charlotte for the week.  We spent a lovely Easter weekend together.  The Easter Bunny brought the cousins baskets full of chocolate and books.  We had a fun Easter egg hunt this afternoon and Emily made a delicious dinner.  The cousins have been playing together nicely and are so cute to watch!
