We like to try many new things every summer, but there are some places we find ourselves every year...oldies but goodies. Of course we find ourself at the beach every summer and that never gets old, but here are some of our favorite places around here. I think I like them as much for the memories as for the good times.
We love going to Birkdale for the fountain, fun events, and assorted ice cream places.
This is the earliest picture I have of Parker in the fountain, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't his first time. It's always been exciting to run in and out as fast as possible. It took me a few trips to learn to pack a bathing suit and extra clothes...the near by stores got some good business from us needing a dry outfit in a hurry.
He doesn't run from the water much anymore...just goes right for the middle...but the cold still sends a chill!
Here is Tinley (yes the one who looks like a boy from behind) on one of her first visits to the fountain.
There is always something to watch going on...Here are Tinley and Sadie watching some jugglers.
And if you're lucky, some good music playing nearby.
Another place we find ourself at quite a bit is Discovery Place Kids. It's not really that old, and it's not really just for summer...but we're becoming summer "regulars."
Here is Tinley's first visit when it opened. I always tell people babies love this place too!
Here's Parker's first visit. He loved working on the car.
This year some of their favorite things there are...
Playing fireman..
The bank "drive thru"...
The submarine...
And for some reason plain old markers, stamps, glue and scissors...I guess there aren't as many rules with these.
This week we're headed to Carolina Beach for one of our favorite places not around here!
