Road Trip!!!

The kiddos and I (sans Peter) took a road trip to Wilmington to visit my parents and Abigail.  We had such a blast!!! Abigail got excited about taking pics so there were over 1200 - WOW! We filled every waking moment with the pool, beach, aquarium, park and mulch extravaganza. 

Pool

The kids were like little fish.  We spent most of the time in the kiddie pool but took a few dips in the big "cool" too.  Anna was not a fan at first, but loved splashing her toes by day two. 

 

 

NC Aquarium

The major highlight was the scuba diver show.  The scuba divers talked to the audience through the tank and the kids could hardly believe they were giving "high fives" to real scuba divers.  So cute!

Beach

Kate LOVED the water.  Max LOVED the sand.  Anna LOVED the "Sand Bumbo" I created so she could be in the middle of all the fun.

 

Rocky

Kate & Max love Abigail's dog.  However, I was not prepared for how much Anna would love him.  She was always trying to pet him and she was actually gentle (most times).  One afternoon, I found Rocky had sneaked into our bedroom and was laying next to Anna's crib - I think he liked her too!

Pool

We made a second visit to the pool and enjoyed a fun picnic dinner.

Park

After a rainy day, it cleared up enough to visit a park in the neighborhood.  The park was super fun with swings, diggers, trees for climbing, and mud puddles (Grandma Mary was not thrilled about the mud).

Beach

One last visit to the beach proved to be a great decision.  We saw a fisherman catch a baby shark.   Kate swirled around in the waves and collected a bunch of shells.  Max dug a hole to China.  Anna decided she liked the water.

 AMAZING TRIP!
