Lukey at Sunrise

On the last morning on our trip to the Outer Banks, Lukey and I walked to the beach to see the sunrise.  We were lucky and got there just in time to see the sun come up!  It was beautiful!











Anna on the car ride home.  This week she has gotten really good at smiling!

Beach

Lukey absolutely loved the beach.  It was hard to keep up with him.  He wanted to run right into the ocean.    Someone had to hold him back at all times.
Lukey, Anna, and their cousins Kent and Maeve all bought white and khaki outfits with the intention of us having a professional photo shoot.  Even Auntie Carrie and I had all white outfits.  After we saw how wild all the kids were at the beach we realized that it was not going to be possible.  Especially with Lukey.  Oh well.  We still dressed in our outfits and took our own pictures.  Mostly with Auntie Carrie's camera.  Hopefully she'll send us those pictures soon..



Anna on the beach.  This picture didn't come out exactly how I wanted..

We took a trip to the Aquarium.  Lukey and Anna enjoyed seeing all the fish.

Lukey was almost as crazy with the pool as he was at the beach. He constantly wanted to run and try to jump in the pool.  I tried to swim with him once but he didn't really want to do that. He more wanted to run around, throw balls in the water and dive in.   I forgot to bring his monkey leash so I had to buy this lion leash while we were there.  Well worth it.

Nana with Lukey and Anna.

Lukey and I went on a few short morning walks together.  It was wonderful.

Nana and Lukey at Jockey Ridge sand dunes.  Lukey's favorite part was a big puddle before we got to the dunes.  He didn't have much interest in the dunes themselves but he loved to play in the puddle.  


North Carolina Vacation

Great Auntie Roselyn invited Lukey, Anna and I, and Auntie Carrie, Kent, Maeve and Nana to her house in Duck, NC in the Outer Banks.   We had a great time!  Thank you, Aunt Roselyn!!!

Auntie Carrie playing with Lukey by the hot tub.  He didn't want to go in the hot tub. Too hot.

Lukey had a lot of fun playing with Kent.  Within a few days he was pretty good at calling everyone by their names.  He would see Kent and say, "Hi Kent." He could also say hi to Maeve and "Aunt Care" and "Ro".

Luke's first frog (Anna's too)

If Lukey calls it a frog it must be a frog (not a toad).
Frog.

Do you think he likes to eat animal crackers?

Toad in the pocket!


Trying to catch the frog.

Laughing every time the frog hops.


Anna found the frog slightly boring.

Luke is a little crazy sometimes

Cheese!

Getting sleepy.

Normal afternoon-ware.

Sleeping with his favorite hat.

New Chair

Anna was jealous of Lukey's chair so she got one too!








Lucas and Anna like being in the same place at the same time
