Harrison's Birthday Party

This weekend Aunt Georgi, Uncle Jon, and Emma came up from NJ to help Mommy and Daddy with my birthday party. I had a "fishing" party at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, CT (it's right down the street from my house!). Some of my friends from school and church came to play. We had a fishing "pool" where we could use the poles that Mommy made to catch sponge fish. We had bubbles and beach toys too. Most of the time, everyone wanted to play by the water spigot in the mud puddle though!

Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me and I blew out the candle on my huge fish cake that Mommy made for me.

Chapel Hill

Before heading home, we stopped in Chapel Hill to see Uncle Justin, Aunt Shelly, and baby Avery. We met at the Old Well and got to open presents. They gave me a bug catcher with a magnifying glass, flashlight, and tweezers and a book about bugs for my birthday! They even gave Emerson a present- A Thomas the Train set with Thomas and Anna & Clarabel! How did they know that Em likes trains? We even had a present for Avery- clothes, of course! After presents we walked to a restaurant called "Hams" for lunch. When we finished lunch, we walked back through the campus and went to the Student Stores. Mommy bought us both UNC t-shirts! Maybe one day we can go to college here too, just like Mommy and Daddy did!

Jacksonville Visit

After leaving the Outer Banks, Daddy had to fly home to go back to work. But we really wanted to see our Poppop Suter, Uncle Drew, Aunt Jessy & cousin Trey, so Mommy drove us to Jacksonville, NC. We stayed for almost 2 weeks! (Boy, bet Poppop was glad to get some peace and quiet after we left!) We went to the beach, ate at Chuck-E-Cheese, made a Barbie birthday cake for Uncle Drew, went to see the 53 helicopters and Ospreys, and got to do the slip-n-slide a few times! Poppop Suter took me shopping at Walmart for my birthday! I got to pick anything I wanted!! I got a cowboy set with 2 real cap guns (they were for big boys 8 years old, but Poppop said it didn't matter!), a sherrif's badge, a bandana, a cowboy hat, and a holster for my pistol. I even got a light saber too!

One morning Aunt Jessy was on her way to work and she caught a baby turtle for us. I named him "Cartwheel". We kept him for the day in an aquarium, but let him go after Trey came home to see him. That same night Mommy caught a really fat frog for us! He played in the aquarium for a little bit before we let them both go.

It was such a great visit at Poppop's! We hope he gets the chance to come and visit us sometime soon in CT!

For the week of 4th of July, Mommy & Daddy took us to the Outer Banks. We had SO much fun there! Aunt Melissa and Uncle Chris came and stayed with us too! We went to the beach every day and even got to fish in the evening. I caught a big striped bass and Emerson caught a "wittle fwounda". We went to the dunes, the Wright Brothers Museum and even to the Cape Hatteras Light House. Can you believe we drove all that way and I was an inch too short to climb it?! I was not very happy about that!

On 4th of July, we watched the fire works from the beach. They were everywhere! Daddy even had some for us to do ourselves. I hope we can go back again next year!
