Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on....

After leaving Florida, we spent one night in South Carolina before heading to VA Beach. Our timing was perfect. Robin took a spill at work and ended up with some pretty serious damage to her knee. She was so distraught, as she had to take a leave of absence from school. Fortunately her surgeon found an opening and was able to get her in for arthroscopic surgery two days after we arrived. He was so sweet....he said he sure didn't want to hold her up from becoming a nurse...there is already a huge shortage!!

Betty, Emma and Kriston arrived a couple of days after we did and took over with entertaining the kids while I took Rob for her surgery and appointments at school to reschedule her next mod.

While we were at the school, I was peeking in one of the lab windows. One of the teachers came with a key and took me on a tour of the new facility. These dummies are SO cool.
This is the pregnant woman (she actually gives birth) and don't you just love the expression on her face. Obviously this was designed by a woman!!

She was totally anatomically correct, but I didn't think the pictures were blog appropriate.


The baby.....

And the $30,000 man who speaks 23 different languages. This guy is set up to perform every procedure you can think of!!

Here is Emma with one of the 7 four leaf clovers she found. I have never found one in my life and she just goes along and picks them out of nowhere! I was checking all of them out to make sure she wasn't tricking me. I guess she has more patience then I do. Emma patience??????

The girls loved the campgrounds for bike riding.

Monica, one of Robin's friends from school joined us for dinner and a campfire on the weekend.

Dave and Kriston wait patiently for Poppy's famous burgers....
