Lee and his friends Todd and Nathan rode in a 200 mile relay race that went through North Carolina and a small bit of Tenn. and Virginia. They each did a few legs of the race and finished 7th out of 25 teams! Max and I are very proud of Lee!
We had a great visit with Nancy and Eric in July. Max loved meeting Reno and Custer their cute cats and we had a really fun day in downtown Philly. We took Max to see the Liberty Bell. He had been singing a song about it from his patriotic CD and had played with a replica at Nana's house so we thought he would enjoy the real thing. We also went to the Franklin Institute which is a really cool science museum. There were lots of buttons for Max to push and things to climb on including a 2 story giant heart! He really enjoyed that and we hope to go back there again sometime soon!
The aquarium was lots of fun and we had a wonderful last day on the beach! We are looking forward to a yummy cookout and then fireworks on the beach Nagshead Pier!
We are having such a fun week at the beach! We have had wonderful weather-not very hot and storms at night not during the day! We have noticed that it is really windy down here in Salvo all the time. We celebrated Addie's third birthday and there were lots of princesses. Yesterday we took the kids to a beach on the sound. It was perfectly calm and shallow-even Emory got in! Lee, Ben, and Bapa went charter fishing today and caught a cooler full of Mahi Mahi. Tomorrow we are heading into Manteo for a performance of Sleeping Beauty at the Lost Colony Theater and a visit to the aquarium. Of course the girls are all hoping for some shopping time while we are there! The best part is having everyone together!
