Putt-putting

We tried out a new putt-putt course this year . . . complete with a practice putting green at the beginning . . . . . . and pirate cannons on which to play! Pops and I get to keep the dust off of the "championship of the world" trophy for the coming year . . . the boys said that it was their birthday present to Pops. But . . . our game-winning strategy? Take 'em to Sugar Creek (known as RV's to the family) and fill up their tummies with supper . . . and then go play the game!!

Good Day

Fun day from morning til afternoon . . . beautiful sunrise, playing on the beach, watching surfers, naps in the hammock, hearing of the successes of the AK pirates, and Pops' birthday!

Good Morning

For Nana Jane

Hi Mom,
All is quiet here at the house. The girls have scooted off to Manteo for a treat; Bill is running over to the grocery store; A2 & A3 are off on an errand; and I volunteered to stay here at the house as the kiddos are taking naps. The morning started off with a walk down to the playground and then onto the boardwalks to feed the ducks. Shallowbag Bay Bill showed up around 10:00ish to see if the parrots had been rescued . . . and the treasure hunt began. Part of the hunt took us to an island in the middle of the sound to shoot the pirate ship "cannon" (water balloons). The matey on shore had to make sure that at least 5 volleys didn't touch the ground. Andrew was great . . . and Adam, Connie, and Amanda were fantastic shots! Of course, as always, bridge jumping had to be included . . . Josiah was chompin' at the bit to be a part of the gang going over the railings!! He absolutely loves the water!

We checked the blog to see if our AK pirates had noted that there was a treasure hunt a-brewin' in Wasilla; and by the comment posting, figured that they know something is up.

The weather is great . . . just warm enough . . . but a little windy. It's fine though . . . the water is ALWAYS beautiful. The hot tub is perfect!

Thought you'd enjoy seeing some pics from the morning. Much love to you~

A Walk in the Park

Pops and I had a date this morning . . . the temps dropped a wee bit, and we thought it would be really pleasant to take our walk outside rather than inside today.

A long time ago, after we first moved to WF, I spotted my "daydream" piece of land. Can you guess where this property is? You've seen it hundreds of times. Think hammock & cows!



WF has turned our cow pasture into a park with 3 miles of walking/bike paths all over its 100+ acres (Phase I). Joyner Park is beautiful! It would be really fun to have a family picnic there one day.
