The blog has been silent because last Saturday we all piled (and I mean piled as you'll see in the video below) into the car and traveled to Emerald Isle. We were joined by Gramby, Su-su, and Gigi for a week of fun in the sun.
Being September, the sun is far enough in the Southern sky to rise over the water. We were greeted with gorgeous sun rises almost every morning.
Bon jour!
Clara got a taste of the ocean in August and got over her fears enough to venture out into it this beach trip. She loves it now!

The cooler temperatures let Jackie Boy get a little more beach time this trip.
Jack really got a kick out of Sydney's stress in this video. Syd was worried that part of her flock was swimming in the ocean without her.
Even Sydney got to enjoy the beach. As long as there was a ball around, she was under pretty good voice control and could be trusted off-leash. She loved fetching in the waves.
And Clara had a good time both throwing the ball to her and fetching with her.
Of course when Jack wasn't out on the beach, he had lots of cuddle time and as well as Einstein play...
And fun with hair brushes!
Clara's bear Phinneas taking a turn on the Einstein with Babies Georg and Maria.
Reading some nursery rhymes
A little downtime watching SuperWhy! with Gramby.
On Thursday Gramby celebrated his 60th birthday! Clara helped gather the shells to spell out "BR is 60" in the sand.
Birthday pancake breakfast.
Snuggles after pancakes.
As a present Gramby received "Beatles Rockband" for the Wii. We all had fun rocking out to the Beatles while competing on the drums, guitar, and vocals. For the record I rocked the Expert level singing. ;)
The last day was actually the worst weather, but we took the opportunity to go to the NC aquarium. Clara set her own pace, and Gramby and Su-su were gravely mistaken if they thought they were going to be able to read all the information about each tank with Clara moving the pack.
At the sting ray/skate tank.
Checking out the turtles and alligators (who knew there are alligators in NC?).
At the big tank watching the sharks and fish swim by.

Emily, great job! You really captured the week.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone that's wondering, the video of us playing Beatles Rockband was intentionally left out. No one would've benefitted from that having been included.
ReplyDeleteNice post Em!
