Summer of Fun

Long overdue photo drop is coming your way! This is Noli proving that wearing her flower girl dress only improves her playground skills (and dishwashing skills)
Noli being her made up character "Fire Kitty"
Playing with water colors.
Marlon wins a Peek-a-Boo
One more video of Marlon and Noli at home just being average. Noli was playing an imaginary circle game. Marlon is eating some oatmeal and making all kinds of statements about it. Also at the start he is trying to wink, which is really an exaggerated blink.

Sunset Beach 2012

We took the family and went to Sunset Beach, NC. It is the last beach before south carolina. The sun is stronger down there so we made sure to bring a few bottles of sunscreen (note: not all available sunscreen is pictured).
Marlon hanging on the beach towel, under the umbrella with his sun shirt one making sure not to get sunburned.
Noli is READY for the beach
lets do it!
Sunset beach has lots of tide pools at low tide. That was a huge hit with the kids. So we ended up spending most of the time at the beach in three inches of water...

Marlon really worked hard to wear himself out at the beach.
Noli loved using the outside shower, she had plenty of sand to shower off...
Noli loved eating outside on the screened in porch. We had almost every meal out there.
Marlon rocking his cares away.
You need a little ice cream to cool you off after such adventures.
Marlon couldn't have any ice cream because they didn't have any non-dairy options. Still a waffle cone with chocolate on top made up for it.
The view from the beach house out onto the marsh....
Heather joined us for us part way through the week. Noli was like white on rice to her! Our friend Keith and Meg came out for one night as well, but we managed to not take any photos with them!
Marlon could NOT wait to get home and take off all his clothes and add his pink feather boa.

American Tradition

I was thinking about something my father-in-law said once; He said he thought there was nothing more American than running through the sprinkler on a hot summer day on your law. Seemed like a fantastic idea today so we did.
Marlon did not like random drops of water sprayed on him...
He was much happier on the porch!
