Weekend Beach Trip...

We went to Carolina Beach for a long weekend. We had a great time. We rented a condo with some good friends, Ken & Jessica. Their little boy, Corbin, is 3 months older than Ivy. Ivy and Corbin are great friends. Both of them would wake up in the mornings asking for each other.

We went to the Fort Fisher Aquarium. I think the kids had a good time. This is Ivy inside the big crab. She thought that was funny...

We went out to lunch after the aquarium. Ivy got into an empty thing of honey butter that came with the hushpuppies. You can tell she enjoyed it...

The reason for our trip was the CNC 4x4 Club's Annual Beach Bash. Here is a group shot...

We took the kids out on the beach dressed in white and khaki on the last morning we were there. We wanted to get some pictures of them playing on the beach. Here are just a few of the pictures I took...

Fall Weather...

It has been a BEAUTIFUL start to September. For the past couple of days it has been in the mid 60's in the mornings and then warming up to the upper 70's. It is supposed to warm up to the upper 80's by the holiday weekend, but I'm hoping we are past the hot, upper 90's. But this is NC, so I know that we're probably not through with the really hot days.

Below are some pictures I've taken over the past day or two.
