Most of the McKelvy clan headed out to North Carolina to see Luke's family and meet the new additions (Tate and Sawyer) for themselves over the Memorial Holiday. Warren and I were the first to arrive, and miraculously with no complications with American Airlines. When that happens, I do not mind the trip so much. Besides, I had some movies to watch on my iPad...(
Evelyn, which is based on a true story and very good,
A Little Romance, it is cute and fun! and lastly,
We bought a Zoo, which is also based on a true story, and good as well). I could hardly wait to leave Roswell...

And get into Greenville, SC. I had a window seat, so I got to behold the glory of God. Look at these clouds...so beautiful and awe inspiring that is for sure.

Luke picked us up at the airport; we went to Chipotle's for a fine dinner, and then on to Hendersonville where we got to see how much the twins had changed. I was amazed to see they had blue eyes. Since Jordan has brown eyes, and Luke green, I figured there was not a chance they would have blue eyes, but they did. Of course, I am told that is subject to change, but we will see. I did the calculations based on what I remember from my genetics, and there is a 1 in 4 chance one would have blue eyes, and for both of them, a 1/16 chance. Regardless of the eye color, I was so happy to see them, and so was Warren.

I bought a new camera: the Canon Powershot SX40 HS, specifically to use on trips where I do not want to lug around all my lenses and big camera. This camera has a focal range of 24 to 840, so it is a macro, wide-angle, and telephoto all with one lens...so cool! It was probably not the wisest choice to bring a camera that you are totally not familiar with, but I did. Unfortunately, there was no manual (you have to ask for it...and it is on the way), so I had to guess at a lot of things. Mostly I kept it on automatic, and let it do all the hard work because I could not figure out how to change the aperture or shutter speed. And all in all, I am pretty happy with it, but I still like my big camera better.
More pictures of the rest of the clan and our activities tomorrow, so come back!
