Oak Island Day 4

Today we decided to take a break from the beach.  We headed to Fort Fisher by riding the ferry to check out the aquarium.  We met up with my cousin Sterling and his kids to go there.  Then they came back to our house later that evening for dinner and letting the kids play and walking on the beach.  Here are the pictures...

Oak Island Day 3

Uncle Daniel and Aunt Jessie bought our girls some new toys to play with before going to the beach.  The girls loved playing with the big bubble wands..that is until Makenzie poured all hers out!  Then it was back to the beach for more fun.  Here are a few more pictures...

please ignore my massive stomach...it really isn't that big.  I had to be sticking my it out...or maybe I just need a really big diet!

Then the girls got to give Jessie's dog's a few treats!






Then can you find Makenzie?  She was pretending to be asleep on the steps

Oak Island Day 2

We started the morning off with a bike ride.  My grandmother's friend bought the girls a ride in trailer this year which they have loved!  They ask every day to go on a bike ride and have been so sweet to each other while riding.  Then we hit up the beach after our bike ride.  Here are our pictures...

Then lastly that evening we took my mom and sister and brother in law's dogs for a walk on the beach.  My camera fogged up for the majority of the walk so I missed most of the good pictures but here are a few...

Oak Island Day 1

Just in case you were wondering, we are on vacation this week.  Hence the extra time to update the blog this week.  We made it to Oak Island on Saturday after many questions and echoes of "When will we be there?" and "How much longer?" by the girls.  After arriving we all needed to unpack and then naps.  When we got up we hit up the beach.  Uncle Daniel (or Aunt Daniel as Makenzie calls him) took went with me to take them.  The girls took just a minute to realize how much they loved it!  Here are some pictures...

Splash Pad

My college roommate Sarah told us about this splash pad that she and her son, Tyler have been going to play at recently.  On July 4th since I was off work, my mom and I met them there to play.  The girls really had a lot of fun!  There was a splash pad and a little train that we could ride around the park on.  Every time the train would ride by the girls would run to the fence to wave to it!  It was really cute!  Thanks Sarah for inviting us!  Here are some pictures...
