Fourth Birthday




Savanna just turned 4 years old and you would think she is going on 14. My, my! We had a busy birthday weekend beginning with a dog party on Saturday and a trip to the State Fair on Sunday. Both girls were exhausted by Monday but were real troopers pushing through all of the festivities. For the birthday we had a bounce house in the backyard which was a huge hit. The kids jumped til they dropped! We fed them some cake and then let them bounce that sugar out. On Sunday we traveled in the rain to Raleigh. It was pretty chilly that day but the rain did eventually stop. Once again, Savanna insisted on riding the ferris wheel for starters. Only this time she wanted to ride the big scrambler ride. I rode with her and she had a blast! I was certainly feeling that by the end of the ride though. Sadie kept trying to sneak into the bounce house while Savanna was in there but she just isn't big enough yet. She is going to be a daredevil too. Savanna rode a pony and we enjoyed some yummy treats (NC State ice cream and fried candy bars). What a busy, but memorable birthday weekend!

"Seafood Festibal"




We had a wonderful long weekend at Emerald Isle with Grammy and Pa and Mac! The weather was pretty cooperative and the girls had a blast in the sand. We didn't really expect to get in the ocean.....which was fine by Savanna. On Saturday we drove up to Morehead City for the Seafood Festival. It is something I have wanted to do for a while. I have a list from OUR STATE magazine with the 75 things every N. Carolinian should do. I am trying to get everything checked off and the festival is on that list. Savanna is a daredevil so she talked mommy and daddy into riding the ferris wheel with her. There were quite magnificent views from there of the waterfront and the intracoastal waterway. She loved the kiddie scrambler and carousel rides. Thank you for inviting us!
