Weekend in Wilmington

We went to Wilmington to my oldest brother Matt and his wife Emily and their cutie daughter Penelope this past weekend.  They were having a birthday party for her.  We had a great time and the girls had a great time together.  Penny just turned one so the three of them are pretty good stair steps :) 

Can you see Izzy’s excitement??

They had a blow up water slide with a little pool at the bottom.  The water was pretty cold but it was HOTTTT outside.  Piper (our little water baby) loved it and Izzy liked it to- although she was not at all interested in the water slide part.

 

Penny was a little unsure what she was supposed to do with the cake but once Emily put her hands in it she knew what to do!

 

There was lots of love for the cousins :)

Izzy & Daddy are going on a father-daughter camping trip with our church in a couple weeks so we decided this was the perfect place for a trial run!  Izzy was super excited and had such a fun time.  I love that she loves to do fun stuff like that with Tim.  I had a great relationship with my Daddy (and still do) and it makes me so happy that they have it too!  He will be taking the camera on their trip so I will definitely be posting pics of that!!

Of course you can’t go to Wilmington without going to the beach so we went and had a great time!  It was Piper’s first beach trip and Izzy’s first one this year.  They both had a great time!!  We went out in the ocean and got blasted by some pretty big waves but both kids did great!  Tim made Izzy a sand castle and she enjoyed crashing it.  Piper ate about a pound of sand and loved every minute of it!! 

Thanks so much for having us Matt & Emily!!!  We had a great time.  I am so glad our kiddos are close in age- it will be so much fun to see them grow up together :)
