North Carolina:
We went to the white water training center in N.C., with Roxie and Marion. They were great tour guides.
We went to Lake Lure and did some swimming and picnicking.
We tried to lure the ducks in close, to get some good pictures.

Oak Island:
Our last evening at the beach. Carter's Family: Vina, F.C., Marion, Roxie, Evelyn, Susan, Poppy and Carter-Oak Island Summer 2008.
We rode in the convertibles to get some ice cream. We could not motivate anyone to sing karaoke, so we just watched people and enjoyed the ice cream.
Poppy got her first purse. She chose the purple sparkles over the pink one with a stuffed animal. She carried her purse all around the living room while she practiced walking.

Poppy's first real experience with the ocean. The Atlantic is in the lower 80's. The Pacific is in the high 50's.
We think Poppy looks like Yoda. Her little cover up is sunscreen, so I did not want to take it off. She stood and looked out at the ocean for awhile.
She found a shell and ate the sand off of it. She was fine standing until the water came up to her feet and she got off balance.
Grandma Vina spending quality time with Poppy.
The family out for a walk.
We took a bike ride, Poppy was in the ergo.
She was done after about 15 minutes.
Evelyn and Roxy enjoying the cool of the evening. Cool here is 80 degrees with a breeze. The humidity is something to get used to for sure. If the wind did not blow it would be super hard to go outside.
