The Beach

Last week we went to Oak Island for our annual trip with my family. The kids had their moments but were overall pretty good (including the car rides!) and everyone had a really great time. It's always fun to have all of our family under one roof! Rylee was a little hesitant of the water but by the end of the week loved it! Makenzie wanted to dive in from the get go! We also rented a bike with a pull along attachment for the girls to ride in. They both seemed to really enjoy that too! My cousin and his wife and their 2 kids also got to come down for the first weekend we were there. Rylee loved playing with Ashley Glen and Barrett! Here are some pictures from the week (I'll probably put these in more than 1 post)

The Dash

My and Dave's work offered free tickets to employees and a discounted rate to family members for a game of our local minor league baseball team. Our whole family was up for a night of fun! (Well of course besides Makenzie because it went a ways past her bedtime.) They said they had all you could eat food there, which I guess was true, but all that consisted of was hamburgers and hotdogs, potato salad, slaw and some cookies for dessert. They did however have some of the "typical" baseball food for sale there though. They also had an area set up for the kids with some rides and blow up toys. Rylee rode the carousel but decided to skip the rest of it since she doesn't like to play on them with lots of other kids. We all had a really good time. Rylee loved watching the mascot Bolt, from afar but didn't want anything to do with him if he came anywhere close. She talked about him all night! She also loved watching the games they played in between innings and now wants to know why they don't do that at my softball games! Here are some pictures from the night....

Every one in their seats!


Her free hat she got!

Then here are a couple random pictures... Last weekend Dave wanted to wash his car and of course Rylee wanted to help. While he would spray it off both girls would sit in their seats and watch and then Rylee would go help (Makenzie sort of too..but she mostly just played).

The Zoo

Yesterday we went to the Asheboro Zoo. Last year when we went, Makenzie wasn't big enough to really care about the animals. This year they both loved it! Makenzie was so funny pointing and making noises at all the animals. They seemed to really enjoy it too. Here are a few pictures from the day.



























(check out how curly Makenzie's hair got by the end of the day)
