Since we were back in school E A R L Y (August 7), we got a whole week of fall break and what a fun and full week we had!
MONDAY we all went to the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher. That afternoon Jake flew out to Los Angeles for the Adobe Max Conference.
TUESDAY we worked at home and then met some friends for a picnic and play at Long Leaf Park.
WEDNESDAY we headed out to Surf City to finish up a few things before our friends, from Pennsylvania, arrived. The Hrovath's are back!! The girls have been writing each other and keeping in touch across the miles. We spent a lot of time catching up, playing at the house and the beach, and enjoying meals together.
THURSDAY morning Jake flew back on the red eye from LA. The forecast called for rain all day so the Hrovath's came to ILM for the day. It was another fun day together. The kids played non stop and we adults talked for hours. Morgen, our oldest niece, drove in from Liberty University to spend her fall break with us. She arrived just before dinner. After dinner the 3 littles went to Surf City with Jocelyn & Alan and the older girls stayed here for a sleepover.
FRIDAY the ILM crew drove out to Surf City for a beautiful beach day.
The Hrovath's pulled out around 4pm to drive to Raleigh for a family wedding.
SATURDAY we took Morgen downtown Wilmington to explore. Morgen does a lot of photography and the kids really enjoyed taking pictures too. It rained off and on but it was a really enjoyable day.
The Riverwalk
Late Lunch at Dixie Grill
The rest of Saturday was spent hanging out at home. We played games, the older girls made Pumpkin Bread with Morgen, we watched football and walked to the park.
SUNDAY we went to the 9am Gathering. Played after church and enjoyed lunch together. Morgen then headed back to Liberty. We absolutely loved having her here and we hope she comes again to visit!
