A week at the beach...

Webb, Emerson, Will & Grandpa Bill spent a week at Atlantic Beach during their annual beach week.  Everyone appears to be none the worse for the wear...

Emerson has learned to jump off the side of pool with confidence, Webb is diving underwater for random objects at the bottom of the pool, both are frolicking in the ocean without hesitation.  Life is good. 

A visit to Fort Macon was entertaining - muskets being fired, exploding cannons and tunnel explorations - who could ask for more?


exploring the past


Emerson was THRILLED to pose for this one!

 Jumping right in!

 Staying above the waves!
I love the beach!

Webb turns 7...

Webb turned seven last week...such a rough life to be at the beach during your birthday.  He returned to a fun-filled celebration with friends at Science Fun for Everyone!

Webb is not a cake connoisseur, so we opted for a donut cake, he was an immediate fan!
Although not a fan of cake, he is a HUGE fan of Angry Birds...
CHEESE!
Webb's guests...
The ever popular "silly face" photo...
Intensity...you could cut it with a knife!

On Sunday, we trekked to Greensboro to the science museum...there was lots to see & do!
