Boy, it has been what feels like the longest summer ever! It feels like school will never start! Luckily Mom has kept us busy with fun activities to fill out days. Aside from lots of swimming, we go to a different park practically everyday, the Super Special at the library on Wednesdays, and we even managed to fit in a weekend trip to the beach!

At the library, we saw all sorts of interesting things: a reptile man, a magician, a balloon man and watched some short plays. At the park, I've finally managed to make it across the monkey bars without any help or falling. I can almost hang on the high bar and spin myself around, but I fell on my head once and it didn't feel very good.


We went to Wrightsville Beach for a long weekend. All of the dinners we ate when we were there were amazing (all food is right now actually because I think I'm growing)! I especially enjoyed the one evening after dinner, we walked from town back to our hotel along the beach during sunset. Another afternoon, we drove to Wilmington to see a WWII battleship - the USS North Carolina! It was quite interesting exploring all over the ship and almost scary at times. It was definitely HOT though! I really enjoyed being at the beach this time. I could spend hours just standing at the water's edge, jumping each wave as it crashes into the sand. Maybe we can squeeze another day trip in to the beach before the end of the warm weather??
