Ivy out playing in the yard...
Ivy in her curlers
(no pictures of her curly hair - maybe next time)...
Emily has learned to drink from a straw - I pulled out the old
straw sippy cups from when Ivy was a baby. So of course
Ivy wanted to try them out again...
Richard's Aunts Sandy and Judy were so kind and let us stay at
their house in Sunset Beach while they were away on vacation.
We left late Wednesday night (that ended up being hard on Emily - she didn't
sleep well that night at all!) so we wouldn't spend part of Thursday traveling.
Thursday morning, we got up and caught the 10:00 ferry from Southport
to Ft. Fisher.
(oddly enough, Richard, Emily and Ivy all had on their 4th of July clothes)
While in Ft. Fisher we visited the aquarium...
Ivy spotted a praying mantis...
After the ferry ride back to Southport, we drove around a bit and
went to see the Oak Island light house.
We got up one morning and went to play miniature golf.
One afternoon we went to the beach - it stormed pretty badly so we
headed to the little Coastal museum at Ocean Isle Beach.
Back to beach for an evening walk and some pictures...
Sunday morning before we left for the day we hit the beach one more time...
A quick picture of Emily - she kept messing with my camera.
I love those big brown eyes!! And she doesn't usually have her paci
(only at bedtime and nap time) but she found it in the diaper bag! :)
