North Carolina: Part 2

Since American Airlines decided to delay our departure to Utah this morning by five hours (and routed us through O'Hare) I have some time to update the blog.

The kids love the water! One reason Chloe and Kingston love visiting their great-grandmother is the pool in the backyard. There is no better way to beat the 100 degree heat than a dip, or cannonball in Kingston's case, in the pool.


But while we love the pool, nothing can beat the Emerald Isle beach. We especially enjoyed having the Deardens come down to visit us for what we can all agree was a MUCH too short visit. Chloe loved going in the water with Aunt Betsy and Ben, Lucie, and Eli.


Special credit needs to go to cousin Ben though. Kingston usually only spends 30-45 minutes at the beach before demanding to "go 'ome."But after Ben introduced him to the joy of serious digging Kingston happily spent two and a half hours at the beach! Thanks for the shovels Deardens!


And of course no visit to NC would be complete without a trip to Duke with Gigi to load up on Duke paraphernalia. Looks like we are ready for another school year.




We are excited to come see everyone in Utah, but we sure are going to miss all the fun things (and people) we got to spend time with in NC.
