Exploring Charlotte

Has life been crazy for everyone lately??  I am so behind and I have a lot of catching up to do...but what's new? haha.
This happened the first week in November when the weather was still warm and wonderful.  We took the babies on a bike ride through Uptown Charlotte. Yes, it's called "uptown" and not "downtown."
There's a great paved greenway for about 6 miles.
Here's some pictures.
Nels and the babies.
Charlotte's skyline in the background.
Cheese. :)
Charlotte.
Some of the trees are just turning color.
All along the trail there is art work, sculptures, fountains, shops, parks and a canal (or man made stream).
Isak tuckered out and snoozed for a bit.
Me, Charlotte and the babies.
This was my view. :)
They had a cloud gazer that reminded me of the bean shaped one in Chicago...just a lot smaller.

Nels is pretending to be Atlas with the world on his shoulders.  Ah!  Don't shrug Nels!  (Nels's favorite book of all times is Atlas Shrugged)

After our bike ride we spent some time at Freedom Park.  Oh the babies were so cute and loved the swings.
I LOVE this picture.

We took turns pushing the babies.
Then we sat on a bench and watched people.
And tried to get a picture with all four of us.
Isak explored this tunnel.
He pretended to be Superman flying in the swing!
When we got home, Kira and I took a nap.
It was a perfect day.
