As is the Tupua tradition, the last day of vacation is our Backwards Day. We began with a dessert from Publix. We picked up cupcakes, scones, and cinnamon rolls. We then moved on to dinner with a roast in the crock pot, Barbie's homemade dinner rolls and a pot of rice.
After leaving Kinston, we told the children that we were going home a different way from normal. And we did. We got all the way into Orlando (12 hours away) before the children realized where we were and we told them that we were spending 4 days at Disney World.
Barbie was really great about making lunch everyday for us. 
Here are the Bigs at one of the cultural activities after the pool.
This is how the Littles relax after the pool.
Here we are off the explore the Magic.
Kuresa was holding Cyrus at Lika and Jason's when a unique photo opportunity presented itself. Love you and miss you.
The North Carolina aiga still had school so we entertained ourselves by taking in some sites. We started out at the Farmer's Market where we bought some cantaloupe.
We then went next door to visit the full scale replica of the CSS Neuse, the Confedrate ironclad home to Kinston. It is the ONLY full scale replica of an ironclad anywhere in the country. It was so huge!
Next we visited the Harmony House, which was once home to the Govenor of Kinston.
We had a great time together. Love you.
Here are some pictures from Jarod's baseball team's photo op. It was a beautiful day for pictures. Love you all.
Happy Mother's Day, Grandma Ella! Hope you have a great day today.

The Mets were up 6 to 3 when mighty Jarod stepped up to the plate.
In today's rousing game between the Mets and the Cardinals, Jarod James (#7 for the Mets) helps his team to a 8-6 win over their division rivals...."rivals" is a strong term considering there are only 3 teams in their division. Jarod's team is now 4-0 going into their Bye Week. Any who...hopefully this link will take you to a video of his at bat. Sorry that the first part is blurry. Love you all.
