Summer, Part 4: Figure Eight Island

Our final voyage of the summer took us back to Figure Eight Island near Wilmington, NC.  We wanted to spend Daniel's first birthday with Jonathan's parents and also see some good friends (Beth and Mark Miller as well as the Rodes family, visiting all the way from France!)





Daniel's birthday was so much fun; we had a Thomas the Train cupcake "cake" and Daniel was hilarious devouring his cupcake!




Besides lots of fun beach time, we also went on some walk/runs, rode bikes together and played BINGO one night.







The Rodes children are adorable and were very sweet playing with Benji and Daniel!  The boys also loved having Captain and Mere Mere around:




After all of our summer travels, I wasn't sure how smart it was to take another long trip.  But I'm so glad we were in this beautiful place with wonderful people, especially to celebrate Daniel's "golden" birthday!  Happy birthday, sweet buddy!

    So fun! We're just "up the road" on Emerald Isle this week... there's something about a beach that's particularly restful. Glad you guys have had such a good summer!
