Cameron Crazies

During the last 3 days I've learned exactly what it is that makes the Cameron Crazies go crazy: 2,000 grad students, every RV and U-haul in the triangle area and at least that many tents crammed onto a field and a couple of parking lots...

submitting to 36 hours of random checks and consuming mass quantities of alcohol...

and finally, standing in line to see if you have qualified to enter a lottery. If you're one of the lucky ones that wins the lottery, you get the distinct privilege of paying full price for a Duke Basketball season ticket. Can you say CARAZY??

(you probably can't tell but this is a cell phone photo of Coach K and the team)

Needless to say, I had to join the madness and give it a try (well, minus the booze of course!)

(if you look really closely you can see the youngest crazy at campout - Hailey Mills, age 4 mo.)

Summertime and the livin's easy

A day in My Life - by Hailey Mills

Hang out with mommy...I know what you're thinking, and yes I'm always this cute!



Get in my "tummy time". I work hard to keep my belly soft and round.




Suck on Mommy's oreo...it is milk's favorite cookie after all.

Help dad with his homework...no matter how many cases he reads he still doesn't get that in the end, I make the law.

After tutoring dad on the intricacies of Criminal law, I distract him with my infectious smile!















After a long day of being cute, I take a nice warm bath with my strategically placed duckies.

Beaufort and Fort Fisher

During our first month in North Carolina, we've tried to take advantage of the nearby coast (about a 2 hour drive). We spent a day in Beaufort, a small coastal town...it's claim to fame is that it is the setting for Nicholas Sparks' book "A Walk to Remember" and it also was a favorite rest stop for pirates such as Blackbeard (who hung his wife from a tree in the front yard of one of the hotels). On the way back home we made a pit stop in a little town called New Bern "the birthplace of Pepsi-Cola" good times!

Then a couple of weeks later we were invited to go back to the coast by some friends in the ward. This time we went a little farther south to Fort Fisher.

Hailey enjoyed it immensely!

The whole gang!
