Ryder’s Play Date at Monkey Joes!!

I interrupt the Oak Island Beach Vacation Series for this cuteness!!

Yep that’s right…I still have more beach pictures!

Last Wednesday, Ryder and I had a super fun play date with Andrea and Taylor. We met up with them after I dropped Maddox off at preschool.  We ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel (my favorite) and next stop…Monkey Joes!!  Wednesdays are half price and children 3 and under are only charged $5 so for $2.50…we had a blast for an hour.  We only had an hour to play b/c I had to be back in Lincolnton to pick Maddox up by 11:30…we packed a lot in those 3 hours!! The boys were completely worn out after a full hour and both knocked out on the way back!!

Here is a little video of Ryder and Taylor.  Excuse my snorting and I say Ryder like a gazillion bunch of times!!

We had so much fun!!  I’m glad I have children under age 4 so that I can supervise them on the big slides and get to slide too!!

Oak Island Part 3 (Ferry, Aquarium and Beach)

I have got to hurry and finish blogging about our vacation!!  I am getting behind on the rest of our life since we have been back!!  It seems it’s getting harder to find time to blog.  I’m not sure why.  I usually blog at night after the boys go to bed but lately I am too sleepy!

The flies were so bad on the beach we decided to take the ferry to Fort Fisher and go to the Aquarium.  Plus even if the flies weren’t bad we would have went anyway…tradition!!
