The Beach

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in the Outer Banks this summer. It was our first trip there and the quaint town of Duck is where we stayed. We really lucked out on our house...it was beautiful and perfect for us and all of our visitors. It was truly a family affair! The boys loved the pool and it was SO convenient to have one at the house. The beach was a short walk down the street where we fished, dug for crabs, collected shells, built sandcastles and Jack ate his first sand. Joey is a great kite flier, an awesome boat captain and a cautious fisherman. Jack is such an easy baby...he just went the flow: slept on the beach in the morning, played in the sand, splashed in the pool. Two weeks didn't seem like enough time...if we could have stayed another week we would have! Everyone is already looking forward to next year!

First O's Game

Joe took Joey, along with Grandmom and Grandpop to his first Orioles game on Sunday! He had a great time and seemed to be mesmerized with the action on the field. He did have to take a little break though and run around the concourse....where he had to make a pay phone call to mommy!

Carnival Time

The local volunteer fire department holds a fundraising carnival each June. We took the boys last weekend thinking that Joey would atleast enjoy the kiddie rides and maybe win a stuffed animal or two. Well, the only thing that he liked or even wanted to consider riding were the cars that go around in a circle. It took a little coaxing, but we did also get him on the merry-go-round, twice! He really didn't have a care for any of the alley games except for the fishing...he wanted to keep fishing after his "game" was over. Again, little Jack watched from the stroller, but he didn't seem to mind :)

Ravens Family Picnic

Here is our future star at the Ravens Family Picnic...it is held at the stadium each year and Joey took the opportunity to checkout every inch of the field. He threw the football up and down the field trying to play ball with the big boys! Then he made a spin-art frisbee and threw that up and down the field! He had a great time! Jack just chilled in his stroller and eventually feel asleep.
