Pool Party, Kite Flying, and Bollywood!
Must be a summer Saturday at our house. 😉 Whew, it was another packed day full of fun. First off, Brian went to Lowe’s Build and Grow and made a cool El Macho plane, from the upcoming movie Planes. You can see he went in his swim gear, because right after that, it was off to Tyler B’s birthday party. It was a superhero theme this time, and Brian got to make a cool mask, and got a Batman towel/cape to keep! I stayed home with Kendall, and we had a nice time relaxing and...

It was a great day to be outside, so–why not break out the kiddie pool again! It was so hot, Brandon and I got in on the fun, too. Brandon and Brian had fun with the squirt guns, and Brian of course continued to do his “cannonbaaaaaaaall!” jumps into the pool, splashing everyone. Kendall has decided she likes sunscreen now, and kept asking for more. We used our new Hello Kitty beach towels (even Brian)! We played until naptime. Later, we went to visit Grandpa and...

It was our last day at the beach, and we were all feeling a little down to be heading back to real life.. But, we made the most of the time we had. The kids enjoyed some time on the porch after breakfast. Brian was pretty absorbed in the iPad, as Kendall fully enjoyed the porch swing. I thought, hm, there’s a lesson for us grownups that tend to get absorbed in our devices here.. 😉 I will work on being more present. Brandon and I worked on packing up, while Brian made a blanket fort...

You’d think the kids would sleep really well after such an exciting day yesterday.. But, as luck would have it, they were both up and wide awake at 6am–ouch! Brandon and I were zombies as the kids played as the sun came up, but lots of coffee and breakfast helped. 🙂 After breakfast, we saw that the tide had gone out, and Brian went on an impromptu nature walk with Grandma Sue. He carried his new net and explored the tidepools still in his pajamas, while Grandma taught him about...
Read MoreBeach Trip! Sunday
Today was a truly epic adventure! We decided to take a ride on Grandpa Steve’s boat over to Cape Lookout. Brian got to visit the marina to retrieve the boat, and then we got everyone suited up and ready to go. It took just over an hour to make the trip. Kendall slept in my arms most of the way, I think the waves, engine noise, and restriction of the life jacket just put her right out. Brian was a little apprehensive at first, but quickly decided this was a super fun adventure! I...
