Jacob on a Riverboat Cruise with Wayne and Erika
From Tammy Goodson
In  July, Jacob spent a week at "Camp Oma and Opa" in NC and a week at "Camp Grandma and Grandpa" in VA.   Although he missed his friends, he had a great time at both places!   In NC, he got to spend the week with his great Aunt Elfi from Florida and His great aunt Traudi and great uncle Gunter from Germany who were also visiting for the week.  They traveled to the mountains and had fun going to some local sites as well.   In Virginia he went to a water park, played putt putt,  and had lots of fun. Garin and I missed him and were a little jealous of all of the fun he had. We will be ending the summer with a family trip to the beach with the Dickerson family before Jacob starts back to school on August 16th.   He will be in 7th grade this year. Its hard to believe. We are very blessed and excited that Jacob will be starting in a new school this year.  He was one of 100 rising 7th graders to be accepted into the Florence County International Baccalaureate program this year.  It's a wonder opportunity for him to get a great education through the SC public school system.

From Dale Harris
We enjoyed family time in Palm Coast, Florida for vacation.  This summer we have been enjoying doing what we want when we want.   













From Leslie Bailey
We continue to stay busy going to Asheboro zoo, Sci Works in Winston Salem, the Natural Science Center (regularly), and swimming with friends and family.  We also added to our family. We are now the proud owners of a 1 1/2year old border collie/spaniel mix named Oreo.  She is a rescue that we got from the same organization that we got our cat. She is a great dog and very smart.  Everyone is adjusting well


The kids and I took our annual beach trip with kids and moms.  4 moms, 4


sets of twins.  We always have so much fun.  We spent a lot of time at the
beach, went on a pirate cruise, and went to the aquarium where we saw Roger,
Kathy, Chris, Becky, and Lily!  That was such a nice surprise! Kind of sad,
though, that we have to drive to the beach to see them, though.  We also
went to some tide pools near the aquarium at low tide and saw sea anemone,
crabs, and fish.











From Delora Goodson

Delora, Mark, Colton, and Joseph enjoyed a vacation at Atlantic Beach. Delora will be teaching kindergarten this fall. Joseph is playing on the Lincolnton JV football team. He is playing linebacker and tight end. Look for his number 17 Jersey. He will be in 9th grade this fall. Delora adds that they have a new pet. Daisy the duck.

Happenings from July - Grant went to summer camp for the first time. First week was to RA camp at Camp Caraway, Baptist camp for boys. He had a great week of games & bible study. He learned that God doesn't need us but he wants us.  He was home for the weekend and then left for Centrikids camp at Anderson University.  He had more bible study, practiced flag football & basketball.  He had lots of fun and is ready to go again.  Janice attended the Premier Jewelry 25th anniversary national rally in Dallas, Texas.
We are going to Cherokee for the Trout Derby on August 8th, and on our way back we are to get our new schnoodle puppy.

Grant be careful!
Marshmallows are good!

From Roger Goodson

We had a great time at the beach for two weeks. One week with Judy and Jim and another with Chris, Becky and Lily. We were surprised to run into Leslie and the twins as we left the aquarium. We also saw Mike, Gail and Kyle while we were at the the beach. You wouldn't recognize Kyle! He is a lean mean running machine now.
Look who we ran into at the Aquarium!
