Our Independence Day Weekend starting out with an assembly and parade at our school! Canon's class talked about the Capital all week and became the "Capital Scholars" for the day.
Then Saturday morning we loaded up the van at 5am and drove down to Wilmington, NC to see our friends Meg, Chris and Avery! The drive was surprisingly easy and we arrived happily to their house around 11am.
A quick lunch and then we were out on the boat and beach for the afternoon!

Sunday morning we went to church then headed to downtown Wilmington for brunch. We found "Bourbon Street in Wilmington" and had to try their beignets. Though it was no Café Du Monde, it was probably the best we've had since.
We spent the afternoon at Chris' parents house and Canon swam by himself for the first time! This was a pretty big deal since the last 2 summers (and last weekend) he refused to even wear his puddle jumper. But on Sunday he asked to put it on and then surprised us by swimming back and forth between Aaron and I! Soon he was jumping in and swimming back to the steps! I was so proud!
Sunday we woke up and went immediately to Wrightsville Beach to play. The entrance into the ocean stays somewhat flat and shallow for much longer than Rehoboth which made playing much less scary and way more fun for Canon! Ben was super content to hang out up by the chairs though.
We love the Jones' SO MUCH and can't wait to visit again in October!
