Summer Fun!

This has been a busy summer, which is why it has taken me so long to put up a post! We celebrated my birthday (July 2) and Fourth of July in Pinehurst, which was a lot of fun. Kelly, Louis and Hannah came up to visit for the week, so the cousins got to spend a lot of time together, which they always love! We all went to the July 4th parade in Pinehurst and then headed over later in the day to the Fair Barn where there were more festivities.

At the Fair Barn, they had several bounce houses (which Grady loved!), as well as pony rides. They weren't too sure about riding the ponies, but they still did great!

During our visit, we also went to the Pinehurst marina and pool quite a bit, which the kids loved!

Hannah absolutely loves the water and is completely fearless! She just walks right in and laughs if she ends up under water. It's so cute!

Here are some other pictures from our visit....

This was the favorite spot during our visit - Popeye's closet! All three of the kids thought it was hilarious to hide in his closet...we still have no idea why it was so exciting. All we know is Popeye had to pick up his clothes numerous times a day after they played in it! :)



Hannah really loves giving lip kisses!



 We also went blueberry picking at an organic farm in Carthage, which was a lot of fun!

Here is Kelly picking up all the blueberries after Hannah decided to dump them out!

And finally, here is my pride and joy! A blueberry pie that I made that night! I have to say that I think it was better than Mrs. Smith's! :)
