I have always loved a good puzzle at the beach...

Day 208

This is for last night...We arrived at Emerald Isle late yesterday afternoon and actually had a little beach time before dinner.

I grew up coming here for family vacation, and I have so many fond memories of being on this little island.  It is beautiful!

Day 202

This post is for yesterday:

We finally had a sunny day!  My assignment for July is to use props, more than one subject and to shoot in the middle of the day in sunny conditions.

I set everything up yesterday morning, and Emma and Jackson were ready to go!

Day 201

I am posting for last night.

Yesterday JC got up at 5am to run The Scream Half Marathon.  Because of baseball we were in a hotel only about 20 miles away from the shuttle site.

I am so proud of JC.  He ran it in 1:31!  He came in 19th overall and 2nd place in his age group!

Day 200

Last night we played Myers Park from Charlotte.  The boys were down 11-2 in the first inning.  We rallied and slowly fought back.

In the top of the 4th inning, we were down 15-9.  Brendan comes up to bat with 2 outs and the bases loaded.  He gets two strikes on him, and then he sends the ball over the fence for a GRAND SLAM!!!

I WAS ONE PROUD MAMA!  That got us back in the game...score 15-13.

We get as close as 16-15 in the top of the 5th inning, but they came back to score 5 more runs in the bottom of the 5th.  We were not able to recover from that and lost 20-15.

What a ride!  These boys made so many memories!  

THIRD in the STATE is not too bad for a team that was predicted to lose early at the District Level!
