Labor Day Adventures

Long weekends are pretty cool. Greg actually had Friday and Monday off (and took today off too), so we had lots of fun together.

We got Macy a little pool in July. We pulled it out for the first time last week. (Give us a break though; it's just now getting bearable to go outside at all.) She's a little fish.

Macy is finally growing out of her 12–18 month clothing (it's getting too short, not too tight), so we headed to the outlets on Friday to find her some new stuff. Here she is in one of her new dresses on Sunday (with her hair up again).

Apparently when I was little I hated the wind blowing my hair in the car. I would hold my head and yell "owee! owee! owee!" I still hate having the car windows open, so Macy hasn't experienced this much, but on our way to the beach yesterday I gave in for a while. She seemed to enjoy it a little more than I did.

We took Macy to the aquarium yesterday and she loved it. (There are three aquariums in NC, all on the Outer Banks.) It was too dark to get any good pictures, but she got so excited about the "she-shes" in every tank. But she wouldn't touch the starfish.

Then we stopped at the beach for a while, which Macy also loved. She loves to play in the waves, which were a little scarier (for me) this time because of all the tropical storm activity in the Atlantic right now. She did not want to be held—she would have run straight into the ocean if we had let her.

Things got a lot more exciting after we took this video and she ended up wearing one of daddy's t-shirts home.
