Summer Vacation 2012

This year we went to Wilmington, NC for the week and stayed in a house in Kure Beach. They house was great, and the boys loved to have access to the community pool. 

The pool and beach combo were really able to exhaust our 2 active boys as you can see from the photo of Luke, who after taking a shower was supposed to get dressed!!

This vacation was perfect for me and the baby, lots of relaxing and just enough site seeing to entertain everyone.

Hunter starts kindergarten!!

Hunter loved school. The teachers commented on how excited he was to learn! He did all his work without errors and knew exactly what to do with the homework when we got home and told me he didn’t need my help!

Luke started in a new class as well. He was crying when we got there, but I asked if he could sit in a chair so I could take Hunter to kindergarten. He said sure and the tears stopped. A great second child!

He says the cutest things

Luke woke up with a fever on Wednesday so we kept him home from school. When he came down for breakfast in the morning I asked him how he was feeling (trying to check if his ears were bothering him.) He replied: "um, happy!"

Our Summer Vacation 2010

We had a great, busy and exhausting summer vacation. We started in Ocean City, NJ for a bit of beach time. (I can't make it an entire year without a visit to the beach!) This was a nice beach for kids. Our hotel was within walking distance, there is a great boardwalk with restaurants, ice cream and even an amusement park. Both boys loved the ocean and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Next stop was Philadelphia. This is a great town with kids. We visited the Children's Museum, they could have spent the entire time playing in the construction section.

We ran the Rocky steps up the Museum of Art,

took our picture with the phanatic,

checked out the Liberty Bell, went to the amazing Science Center (with a planetarium), Natural History Museum,

the Aquarium

rode the tour bus, and ended up at Longwood Gardens in Deleware. We stayed at a hotel in Philly that had a pool on the roof, so we had a nice energy reliever at the end of each day. Hunter is incredibly interested in dinosaurs, space, science, and sharks, so this vacation really kept him interested the entire time. Can't wait for next year!

Hunter's 5th Birthday

Can you believe my baby is 5? This year we celebrated his birthday at a local rec center pool. All the kids had a blast and hopefully were tired out when we sent them home.

Look at this precious face, couldn't you just eat it up?

Graduation Day!

Hunter graduated from Preschool! I can't believe it. The ceremony was so cute and Hunter did such a great job delivering his lines.

Aunt Patty and Dave made the drive down for the event and Hunter was thrilled. He wished they could have stayed longer.

Power Tots

Hunter has been doing Power Tots (a gymnastics class) at his daycare since he was 3 I think and loves it. Every year they have an end of year performace. Here are some pictures:
