Lulu's Tea Party

We went to a Mother/Daughter tea party at Lulu's nursing home today! It was very nice and had lots of yummy food! Mackenzie was so excited to see Lulu...the whole way there she was asking for her! After we had our snacks and tea, Mackenzie took Lulu for "a walk." She pushed Lulu's wheelchair (with some help) back to Lulu's room:) When it was time to go, without prompting, she ran over to Lulu and gave her a big hug and said "Bye Lulu!"

Another trip to the beach

We had a family vacation to the Outer Banks last weekend. This time we went with Daddy's family for a long weekend to Nags Head. We had so much fun! We went to an aquarium, The Wright Brothers site, and the lighthouse at Cape Hatteras. Mackenzie liked the touch pool at the aquarium again, but wasn't really into the rest of it. She was able to see another shark, but seemed to be more excited that her cousin Mia was there:) It was so neat to see the lighthouse up close! Because of the park rules (and that I said no to her going up)she stayed down on the ground with me, Grandma and Mia. Uncle Chris, Aunt Jamie, Daddy and Grandpa all climbed to the top. When she saw everyone waving at her she kept saying "I see Daddy up top!"

1st Beach Trip

Mackenzie had a blast during her first beach trip! She went with all of Mommy and Daddy's friends to "Auntie" Marie and "Uncle" Charlie's beach house. While the boys tore down one deck, and then built a new one, we went to the aquarium and of course, did a little shopping! She had so much fun with Auntie Marie at the aquarium! They splashed around in the touch pool, and played with a horseshoe crab.

We only made it out to the beach Sunday morning while the guys finished up their project. Mackenzie loved digging in the sand and looking for shells. The only part she didn't like was when she left her bucket a little to close to the water, and the wave came in and took her bucket away. After that she said "I go Marie's house now!"
