We had a fun filled week with the family here. I think we all needed a few days to recover from the frenzy of activity. We went swimming at a friend's pool.
We went to the beach a few times. This was probably where everyone had the most fun. Lily Kate, Charlotte, and Jack would have swam out with the ships had we let them. They kept creeping farther and farther into the waves and Dad had to keep bringing them back in. They had a really good time.
Hadley started standing on her own while everyone was here. Here she is getting some praise for her accomplishment. The day after everyone left she took her first steps. Now (half a week later) she is taking about 3 at a time and then plopping back down. It won't be long until she's off.
Couple attempts at a group shot. Parks and I made a treasure hunt for the kids one night and here they are on our front steps with the "treasure" that they discovered.
We also went to the Carolina Beach fair one night.
Here is Hadley watching the big kids ride the rides.

More Rides
Above, Charlotte had the time of her life riding these rides. And below, Charlotte & Kate enjoying each other (have to capture the moments b/c there are some days when they don't!)
Somehow I only got one picture, but we also went to the Children's Museum. Below, the pirates under the deck of the ship. The kids went to Monkey Joes, the movies, out to eat at least 5 times, and to the park. My parents know how to entertain! We miss you guys!!!
