Hitting The Trails

Well after 2 days of Arctic Temps hit here

we set out to enjoy a day in the sun and warm temps and to get out of the house

We decided to check out some of the trails in Carolina Beach State 

And boy were we exited., They love exploring and so do we

We've been trying to come up with more outdoor activities to do with them

Can't wait to find more things to do this summer 

The state park is beautiful if you ever visit Carolina Beach be sure to check it out

We are thinking about checking into camping there maybe in the spring

bringing our bikes, would be neat to try for their first camping experience

Lots of trails, great marina

The Quest For The Perfect Pumpkin

Love this, His expression kills me 

Our visit to the HUMC Pumpkin Patch was successful

once again, The patch originally lured us in with its curvy Live Oaks and Mystic Moss, and still captivates us with it beauty.

This is where we made friends with another Dalton, and his family

they invited us to come check out the church and we've attended ever since

This visit we settled on one big pumpkin and 4 tiny, and one lil spook for a school project. We ended up deciding to paint our pumpkins,

 can't wait to show you how they turned out

Edenton

A stop at Chero's for lunch

Chero's is a cute little historic building in Edenton. The food was yummy even thou it took forever to get it. And with a restless little one it wasn't fun

quick shot of Maddie & Daddy leaving the restaurant

Awesome old house getting redone. I love it! Can you imagine the story behind houses like this one.

The old lighthouse getting a spruce up. I have an old picture somewhere of what it looked like before

Some how these pictures got lost in the mix. These are from our trip back home from NC for Mason's party & baptism. We ate at my parents favorite little restaurant in Edenton. The food was yummy but the service was kind of crappy. We waited forever for our food and then when we got it. Maddie wouldn't eat the Mac & Cheese... eek  I got fried green tomatos & a crab cake.

I wish I could have gotten shots of the inside of the place it's supper cute.

I love the paintings inside and the painted chalkboard bar.

Gearing up for a wedding I am shooting this weekend. Trying to clean up and organize photos in my computer. Along with starting on a photobook for Maddie's 2nd year. I am kind of giving up on scrapbooking. I just can't find the time for it.
