A Visit to Shelby x 2!


We went to Shelby again the following weekend.  Friday night I got to go have a late night girl's night with my childhood best friend Elizabeth!  No pics to show for it was an enjoyable night full of laughter and catching up!

Saturday Andrew and I went to Charlotte and Bradford hung out with Nana & Grandpa.  He had a blast playing with his new favorite toy a mower after watching Grandpa mow!  They also took him to the Shelby City Park to ride the carousel and miniature train!  I never got to ride either of them as a child because they were torn down before I could remember and were being restored all my growing up years.  The carousel was fully restored by the time I was 15 or 16 I think.  This was the first time Brady had ever ridden a carousel or train so needless to say I was beside myself with excitement when Andrew wanted to take him on Sunday for him to do it all over again with us!

A Visit to Shelby


We went to Shelby two weekends in a row!  The first weekend was just to hang out!  Kathleen and  Mat, Beth and Kayley came to visit as well.  On the way to Shelby we stopped and ate dinner with Andrew in Charlotte!

In love would be an understatement!

Picking Strawberries and Water Play


We went strawberry picking with some friends from our Moms play date group.  It is called Ingram's Farm and it is huge.  They grow all kinds of crops and have a menagerie of animals!  They also make and sell their own ice cream, cake and pies!  To go pick the strawberries we go to ride on a trailer down to the field.  Brady loved it!

After we picked strawberries and ate a picnic lunch we walked around to see all the animals.

A Wedding at the Beach


Andrew and I went to Holden Beach to attend a friend's wedding.  They had the wedding at her parent's beach house on the dock overlooking the inter-coastal waterway.  The wedding was very beautiful with simple decoration and hot!
