The Last July Weekend

We have been busy this last weekend of July!  Harper and I went to Carowinds for a girl's night on Thursday.  We stayed until the park closed at 10pm!  Harper went on her biggest roller coaster yet, the Hurler.  It was awesome!  Friday, we took the kids mini golfing for the first time.  Harper did great!  Ethan whacked the ball a few times, but mostly hand delivered it to the hole.  Later that night, I took the kids out to a movie in a nearby theater.  We went to Urban Air on Saturday.  It is a neat indoor play space for kids.  We spent three and a half hours playing there!  Somehow they still ended up going to bed late.  Sunday, we went to Evie's first birthday party in South Carolina.  It was a busy weekend!
     
Ghost hunting in Carowinds!
   
       
Bumper cars!
     
The Hurler!
    
     
The mini golf course was super cute and is only a few minutes from my Cornelius office.
   
They had misters throughout the course.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
It ended up pouring rain with three holes to go.  It didn't stop us!
   
   
    
It was all sun and rainbows after the rain!
   
   
They had a wall climb that Harper loved.  She convinced me to take them somewhere with wall climbing the next day.
     
Movie theater!
   
Urban Air
    
Harper spent over an hour climbing walls.
   
   
   
   
   
    
Ethan liked the ball pit. 
   
    
And trampolines! 
   
    
   
    
    
Happy birthday Evie!

The Last July Birthday

We celebrated my birthday this weekend after we got back from the beach.  We started with a fun outdoor movie Saturday night.  We had s'mores by the fire pit then watched Croods.  We spent Saturday at the pool with ice cream sundaes.  Alex made me a delicious dinner.  It was a great weekend!

We had a cheese plate appetizer.
   
The cheese course was followed by freshly shucked oysters.  We had a citrus shrimp salad for our main course.
   
Happy birthday to me!
