Our very first family vacation...Wilmington NC! The girls had a great time dodging waves, eating sand, fishing, watching boats and enjoying "life at the beach"...

Emma Jane loved the water and the waves. She was fearless when it came to riding daddy's back and jumping over waves... even when they sent her tumbling, she came back for more!

Lela decided that since she couldn't really partake in the waves, she would make do with sand...yummy!

She is full of smiles and giggles and loves to blow bubbles! She loves it when daddy blows on her tummy!

We spent the day with Dora the Explorer and Diego at Tweetsie Railroad in Boone, NC! Emma Jane was so excited to see Dor-O and Choo Choo that I think she may have exhausted some of her energy on the ride to Boone. When we got there, she had lost some of the excitement, but soon regained it when she saw the Dora sign at the entrance. We hit the "choo choo" first, which both Emma Jane and Lela loved. Emma kept her hand over her mouth during all the cowboy shooting! After the train ride, it was off to see Dora. She enjoyed watching the show, but was mostly interested in her peanut butter sandwich, which was long overdue! It was a fun-filled Dor-O day!

In this economy, everyone is trying to save a buck or two... that is why it is sooooo amazing the generosity and giving spirit of our FAVORITE restaurant, Chic Fil A! They truly exemplify a Christian attitude...

In honor of "Cow Appreciation Day" they gave away free MEALS just for dressing like a cow! So of course the Nagy family could not let this opportunity pass us by...

We proudly brought out the black spots and wagging tails and ventured out for a free, delicious meal! Emma Jane made sure to greet everyone with a cheerful "moo" and was very anxious to order her "chic chic." Even Lela participated...but of course daddy cow had to enjoy it for her!

Needless to say... we all left with a full belly and a waggin' tail!

The Nagy Family celebrated their freedom in Wilmington visiting grandparents, eating good food and watching a fireworks display off of the Battleship! Emma loved the fireworks, which was accompanied by her saying, "boom, boom!" and "more color"... really cute! Uncle Jay was there and we even got to sit on our very own historical boat while watching the show. Later that evening Emma was singing, "my boat... my boat... my boat..." and asking for more "color!" Lela just enjoyed sitting on mommy's lap and loved being near family! oh... and they ofcourse loved visiting the beach! Lela was able to sit up in the pool with Emma Jane... which made for really cute pics and lots of splashes!

Off to Mamaw and Papaw's house we go... It sure is a perk that they live at the beach! Emma Jane was full force when "surfing" the waves. She wasn't scared one bit...I think I was more timid they she was. After all, I was the one that got tumbled by the waves, not her... Ha! She played in her kiddie pool, ate lots of food and built sandcastles until she was stubbling around in fatigue. Nap time was much needed at the end of each day!

Lela loved having her very own play wagon... she chilled under the umbrella most of the day. She played in the kiddie pool, slept in mommy's arms and ate lots of sand! She loved how her feet felt in the cool sand. One day, daddy had to take a ride to get Free Spicy Chicken Sandwiches from Chic Fila, in order to get her to take a nap... she was then good to go for the rest of the afternoon.

My girls love some "chic chic" and "pries!"

Emma Jane celebrated her 2nd birthday with family, friends and as she would say, "Dor-O" the Explorer this past Saturday. She loved being outside running around and ate lots of junk food! Once again...the anticipation of the cake was great...but eating it was a different story! Once the cake hit her plate she pushed it away without any hesitation, a replay of her 1st birthday...

Our girl would much rather have a chocolate chip cookie!

After cake, we attempted to open presents, but mommy did most of the work. A "Dor-O" doll did manage to catch her attention, but then it was back to running around. We opened the gifts once more that evening and she was much more attentative and loved everything!

We gave all the kids their Dora backpacks filled with "The Map" and other goodies and they all went for an Easter Egg hunt... even though Easter was over. They can never get tired of an egg hunt...plus it was another way to get rid of all the eggs we had:)

Lela enjoyed the day as well. She was passed from person to person and hung out in the carrier for most of the afternoon. Her and Emma Jane both came in and crashed for the evening!

When the kids go to bed at 6:30...you know that you threw a good party!

Lela Ann finally did it! After getting furious...she finally rolled over! She is getting so big!

Easter Egg Hunt at College Acres Baptist Church in Wilmington! Good Times!
