Discovery Place, High School Musical and a Sleep Over!

The students went to see a fabulous museum today called Discovery Place - located in the heart of Charlotte's downtown area.  The museum is a place we take our children too often and it has wonderful exhibits there year round.  Today they saw the "A Day in Pompeii" exhibit which is like a journey back in time to experience the life of ancient Pompeii in 79A.D.  It is a fantastic exhibit and I'm so glad they were here to see it and the rest of the museum.  Then they went to an old neighborhood pub type place for lunch called Providence Road Sundries.  Then back to CCDS. 
 Because rain was forecast for the most of the weekend in the mountains, we decided not to go up to Linville, NC as originally planned.  But the back up plan may have turned out better than the original.  I took a car full of girls - Morgan, Regina, Zoe and Gina, Claire and Yvette, and Mary Hill Brooks to see the newly released movie "High School Musical III".  Afterwards, we went out to dinner at Harpers Restaurant.  My husband Joe and our eldest son Jack had baseball games to attend so they could not join us for the fun this time.  However, our youngest son Rex went with us and enjoyed every moment being with 8 women!!  We are now back at our house and the girls are setting up sleeping bags in our playroom for a massive spend the night party.  Let's hope they get to sleep before the sun rises:)  We are truly enjoying our time with Regina.  She is such a sweet girl and makes a big effort with everyone she meets. We are so glad Regina is our Cabo buddy!
