Saturday at Topsail Beach

We enjoyed a lot of family time today.  Jake was in Las Vegas this past week for the Adobe Summit.  He flew out Monday morning and flew back home Friday morning.  

Today was just the perfect family day.  Lily had a classmate's birthday party at Ecological Marine Adventure at Topsail Beach.  We all headed to Topsail, Lily was at the party from 11:30-1. While she was learning all about sharks, and holding a "dog fish shark," we played at the beach.  After her party we stayed at the beach another hour plus.  It was a beautiful day, the ocean was gorgeous and the sunshine was invigorating.

Aunt Anna visits NC

We just enjoyed a visit with Aunt Anna.  She flew in Thursday at noon and headed back home Sunday night.  We enjoyed LOTS of sunshine at home, at the beach, on long walks, and at the park. We went downtown to see Jake's work, Pier 33 and let her experience a free trolley ride (Benny & Wren's idea). We also tried Benny's Big Time, a new restaurant here that was worth all the hype! There was also lots of time for snuggles, reading books, and painting with Anna.

And an impromptu birthday party for Ella's doll, Kady
