We had a wonderful July vacation that started off with good friends in Pittsburgh, a 10-hr car trip (the kids were amazing!) and a week in North Carolina at the beach. Elia and Niko loved the ocean and were totally fearless in the water, and just had a great relaxing time with Baba, Deda and Uncle P.

My baby is 3!!! Too hard to believe. We had an awesome day-we had a picnic (with her baby in her high chair of course) at a nearby park and then headed to the pool. After that she had some good time playing outside with her brother and then the festivities began! We were lucky to be joined by some good friends and we had pizza, ice cream and cake for a birthday dinner!

Dance party

Homemade chocolate pudding

I love how it is all over her chest too. ;)

We love the Falls

So much fun stuff to do now that Dad is home! The chocolate/cinnamon/pretzel ice cream at Sea Salt is awesome, by the way.

Zoo!

Elia and Niko had a blast at the zoo, especially because we got to meet up with pals Wes and Addy. The polar bears were a hit.

Serious reading

;)
