Launch #1 (part 1)

perhaps 'launch' is a misnomer,
as he is now a SOPHOMORE!
we did the Big Launch last year.
so much easier this time!
so much less STUFF.

like the second time you give birth -
maybe take a pillow;
that's it.

Grandpa gets ready to go play SQUASH & PING-PONG
have rackets...will PLAY!

we had a nice dinner that evening
with the parents of one of Samuel's good NCSU friends.
both boys are RAs this year & were in training all evening,
so of course we went out to eat.
Boylan Bridge Brewpub, with sound effects
 a lovely time
getting to know some other NCSU parents

the other family is from Boston
by way of Spain (her) & England (him).
lots of fun things to talk about!
Elena, Kevin, Mike, Mom, Dad, Joseph, & me
Mike took the train back to Gboro the next morning
in order to finish out the work week...

there were more Raleigh adventures, though -
Joseph and I stayed the rest of the week!
yay, Summer :)

here's a preview of how we ended each day...
when in Raleigh, we play games!
