Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

We finally made it to Hatteras Island, and our first stop was the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It's the tallest brick lighthouse in the world!The Millers at the top

Ready for action

We had lots of fun playing at the Muckians!

Thomas Town!

In July, we took our big family road trip. Our final destination was Hatteras Island, NC, but on the way, we stopped in DC to meet the Muckians. And where do you go if you are in DC? Thomas Town, of course! We headed straight to Six Flags America!
Let's just say we were very familiar with the Harold ride before the day was done!

So were Ben and Tommy!

Bertie the Bus ride!

Evan and Percy

Ben was the only little kid big enough to ride Cranky the Crane, and he loved it!

So high!
Ben was also excited to meet Sir Topham Hat!

Wes and Tommy having a snack.

Aunt Staci and Ben went on Cranky again!

Wes of course loved the splash park part!


Natalie was such a good girl!

There was another kids area at Six Flags, so Wes and Ben went on a bunch of those rides too.



And we finished the day with ice cream!

Hey Blue Eyes!


State Fair 2010


Today we hit the State Fair. It's also becoming sort of a family tradition. Wes really really really liked all of the tractors.

Evan didn't like the free hat.

We're pretty sure this carousel won the award for "Unnecessarily longest merry-go-round ride"


Wes went on some cool carnival rides, like the big semi trucks! It was pretty fun!

A New Tradition?

We had a lot of fun with the "surfers" at Evan's party. Here is Courtney and Mamaw.

Evan's Big Day!

We had Evan's 1st birthday party! Here was his cake!


And his smash cake...

He thought it looked pretty awesome!



Enjoying his dinner!

Wes "helped" open Evan's presents...he also helped by playing with all of them!
