Summer Fun 2015 - July

Here are some pictures from our fun filled month of July!

Girls took gymnastics class this summer. Claire has taken them before, but this was Anna Kate's first time in class. And boy was she excited to be old enough to take the class and not sit and watch her sister! Anna Kate loved it and was so brave! She was not scared of anything and her favorite was the swing. She always wanted to go "high!!"

Nags Head Memorial Day Weekend! May 2015

Another fun filled Memorial Day weekend down in Nags Head! The girls absolutely loved the beach and could have spent every second there! They really just loved to play together in the sand and had so much fun doing it that David and I could just sort of relax and watch them play, it was great!! We ate delicious seafood, hung out with family and enjoyed the beach!

Labor Day 2015

We had another fun Labor Day weekend in Nags Head!! This was the first time the girls shared a room at the cottage and Anna Kate slept in a big girl bed for the first time!! She did great, woohoo! It was so sweet hearing them talk to each other as they were going to sleep. We heard Claire tell Anna Kate that if she need anything that Anna Kate just needs to ask her and if she can't get it, she'll get Mommy. So cute!

We had a fun weekend of beach fun, delicious food and family time! Can't wait for next summer!

Big girl bed!!
