Another Great Day in LaGrange!

Swimming in the Lake!

After a steamy hot afternoon picking berries we headed to lake!

We had a great time swimming and even talked Mimi into joining us for a dip. Somehow pictures of Mimi swimming mysteriously disappeared from the camera!

Owen started out scared and then was doing cannonballs off the dock!

Berry Pickin'

We went to pick blueberries and strawberries with Mimi on Friday. It was blazin' hot but we got a huge bucket of each! And then headed home to snack!

We're Back!

And right back into the swim of things... literally! We had our 1st swim meet Tuesday night and the kids did great! Finn and Maggie each swam 2 races and Emma was in 1. The rain came down and ended it early, just as Emma was getting in to swim her 2nd event!

Last Full Day on the Island!

We hit the beach on on out last full day in Hatteras. Finn and Maggie tried to out muscle some waves but seemed to get knocked down 2 out of every 3 waves! But they got back up for more pounding!

Mom took a little break after being pounded into the sand and shells a few too many times while body surfing. The waves were breaking so close to shore that it took you in really shallow and dragged you across the sandy bottom! Speaking of sandy bottoms....

Emma and Owen enjoyed digging in the sand. Owen is still not sure about the big waves and Emma was a great big sister and dug some holes with him!

Our Guardian Angel

Mimi... look who has been following us for the last 2 weeks!

Uncle Meatball!

Uncle Nino! Someone is using your good name to draw in customers! And it is working! We had to stop for Pizza because of the name. It was good but nothing like your excellent cooking!

Maybe you can retire down here with Pops! You both already have restaurants!
