College Friend Reunion #5

So, our last vacation of the summer was to Outer Banks, NC (again!) but this time with college friends. This is now the fifth year that we have rented a house with our college friends. Since this is the fifth year vacationing with friends, we settle into our routine pretty quickly. There are the early risers, the cooks, the shoppers, and the excercisers. The weather this year was not great, but we did have a few nice days on the beach and an amazing sunset the last night. Ian was lucky enough to have his own room, and this year Ian had another friend to play with!!!

Ian is exploring new foods these days. He recently enjoyed corn while on the Vineyard. I would say it was quite a success!

Ian's Striped Shirt Photo Shoot

Ian is developing quite a sense of humour AND he is now fully aware of the camera. I just had to share the photos below, in this sequence of course!

Martha's Vineyard- a trip of firsts!

Martha's Vineyard has always been a special place for Tim and me. This year we got to take Ian and introduce him to the wonderful island! We drove through the night to catch the first ferry at 6am. While there Ian got to experience a bunch of firsts!
