We had a lovely day on the beach on Monday, where Evie practiced her lifeguarding skills and created a giant "bath" with Daddy. That night, a big storm blew in and Tuesday ended up being a little windy for the beach, but we probably needed a break anyway. So we headed to the pool for a little bit to take quick dip. Ellie seems to have enjoyed it the most, whereas it was a little windy for Evie. Ellie looks like a kid in this picture. Our little baby is growing up!
Daddy took Ellie for a dip in the pool. She loved kicking her legs in the water.
Ellie likes peeking through the third floor banister. Thankfully her head would not fit through the bars. The third floor was an excellent stage for our giant's home when we played "Jack the Beanstalk". Everyone got a chance to play the giant yelling "Fee fi fo fum!" and then falling down the beanstalk. Evie was putting her drama skills in full effect!
While Evie was napping, Ellie got a story time hour with Daddy. Her favorite, of course, was the pop-up book "Wheels on the Bus," which she insists upon reading at least 3 times in a row. Look at that smile!
She also likes clapping her hands and drumming on the "Hands, Hands, Fingers, Thumb" book. She must like all the monkeys with their drums.
Next we traveled down to mile marker 16 to Mutiny Bay, a famous cove for pirate mini golf! Ellie loved grabbing all our golf balls so we had an additional incentive to get them quickly into the hole.
Evie practices on the putting green... practices yelling "Hole in One!" that is! She did an excellent job of putting on every hole.
We tried giving Ellie a quick lesson, but she wasn't as interested.
Arg, mateys! Here we are about to board the pirate ship! See ya later, landlubbers!
Watch out for the canon blasts, mateys! The Sea Wolf is about to set sail!
I went to the Outer Banks, and all I got was this lousy pirate's hat (just kidding, Mom and Dad were too cheap to buy the actual hat).
