More NC Trip

Next stop, my parent’s house in Hampstead/Wilmington.

 

I love this place! This picture is taken from my parent’s yard. This was my playground when I was little. When the tide was high, I’d swim, and when it was low, I’d go exploring in the marsh.

 

 

My “Daddy”, taking us on a boat ride. I love this picture of him because he is totally in his element.

Notice that shoes are off and feet are in the water! Jared wanted to be sure to take this picture because we left snow on the ground in St. Louis.

 

 

 

 

Gage tends to choose one main project to immerse himself in when we visit my parents. The last time, it was fishing. This time, it was hunting doves with a pellet gun. He was so obsessed the entire time. And, this is one of his lucky doves. Thankfully, he didn’t bust out the neighbor’s windows!

 

He even learned how to clean them.

 

My Mom was so excited about her garden tools. This is her “I’m getting ready to start laughing and not be able to stop” look, and I just love it. She cracks me up!

 

New Year’s Eve with my sister, Emily (middle) and her friend, Karis.

Jared and I went out to eat and then stopped by to meet my sister’s friends.  We really got a kick out of dropping my sister and her boyfriend off at the bar in our mini-van.

I wish I had more pictures of my family to post, but, I didn’t use my camera as much as I should have.   I was too busy just enjoying my time with them.
