4th of July Weekend

Friday night our friends Freddie & Rebecca brought their mini-person, Levi, over to play with Carter. The boys rolled around on the floor and "talked" to each other. Freddie and I have been friends since we were 5 or 6 years old and it is so neat that our kids will grow up together (although he did inform me that I was bossy little 5 year old, which Brad truly believes!). Saturday, Brad, Bennett (his mom), Monkey and I went to visit Jerry & Betty, who have a lovely home on the Pamlico River. Betty's daughter, Amity, was also there with her mini-person, Braxton, who just turned 2 years old. We LOVE going to visit them and jump at any invitation we get to go. Not only do they have the most relaxing home in the whole world, but they are great cooks and we always leave with full bellies. We didn't make it out on the boat because the water was too choppy, which would have made for a really rough ride for the little ones, but we did get to play in the River before the jelly fish rolled in. This is too funny not to mention: Braxton calls Betty (his grandma) "mine" ~ as in, "she's mine and not yours!"

"Mmmm...chewing on B's toys""Yeck! There's sand on this thing!"






The water was warm and Carter LOVED it! He kicked and splashed and even tried leaning over to touch the waves when we picked him up.
Carter's foot inside Brad's footprint. He's got a lot of catching up to do!

This is the tantrum that ensued when we took him out of the River!

Sleepy baby! Playing on the beach in the sun results in the BEST naps.


You can't see it very well, but he was laughing and smiling with each dunk.

Looks like so much fun! Sofie had a big weekend too, but I haven't had time to post yet. She's also a big daredevil and insists that when we're in the car - even on the highway - that I roll down all the windows and open the sunroof so she can get blown away. She'd LOVE a boat!!! (and so would Mommy)

What a fun day! I love the video. I can hear him. Nayeli and Carter would have a fun time splashing each other. She loves bath time. I cant wait to take her on the boat.
