"It looks like I hear thunder"

This month marked the last of our pool days this year. Can't wait 'til next year!

Uncle Brad came to visit and meet Eloise! After we picked him up at the airport, we took him to Rise Biscuits and Donuts and then the playground. 

He and Brad went to the Battle at Bristol football game: Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee.

They said it was a fun experience. They even got to meet up with the Torrance clan!

Ryan and Shannon gave us their UNC football for one Saturday afternoon game

Outer Banks, NC vacation

We got home from a fabulous beach trip to the Outer Banks with Aunt Samantha! The house we stayed in was really nice and it was just a short walk to the beach. You should have seen us- 3 adults, 2 small kids, and TONS of stuff! Sadie rode to the beach in our wagon and was wedged in with all of our beach stuff!

The girls woke up at regular time, so we took to the beach early for just a quick look!

Eloise's first view of the ocean!

First toes in the sand!

Sadie loved building sand cities, flying the kite, and standing in the surf, letting the waves crash on her legs!

The weather was beautiful, but a little chilly for swimming in the ocean, so we just enjoyed the crashing waves and the gorgeous view!

 We took a little trip to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Sadie and Eloise were too small to climb, so we just walked around. 

 We had some pretty good seafood while we were there!

 Eloise was a great beach baby!

 Eloise wasn't sure about the water!

 Sleeping on the beach is the best! The ocean is a natural white noise maker!

We sure do love Aunt Samantha and we're so glad we were able to have this long weekend with her!!
