Only Child

Ava spent a week at Ninny & Yoda's house ALL BY HERSELF!!  Ninny extended the invite a while back and we weren't sure that Ava was ready.  We talked to her about it and she was absolutely convinced that she was ready.  She was right.  As far as she was concerned we couldn't leave her fast enough and she never felt homesick.  She had a ball!  Ninny, Yoda and Chad treated Ava like a princess!  She got to travel to Myrtle Beach where she went to the aquarium, miniature golfing, boogie boarding on the beach and out to eat at Hard Rock Cafe.  She also got to spend one night at Zsa Zsa's house in Raleigh.  What fun!  Lincoln enjoyed his time as an only child and Chris and I basked in the ease of life with one child.  Wow, it's so much easier.  Like, so, so much easier.  Here's how Linc enjoyed life as an only child for one week...

He's finally tall enough to ride the Elmo Roller Coaster and he LOVED it!  Here he is anxiously waiting in line for his first turn on the roller coaster...



 We built a lot of tracks and lego towers...

 We hung out at Honey & Papa's house...

 We went to Busch Gardens a second time to tackle some more "big kid" rides that we've never tried because Ava is always too scared.  Turns out Linc is an adrenaline junkie...



 He wasn't too sure about the Battering Ram at first...

 ...but then he loved it!


 For Ninny & Ava's return we made dinner and a delicious Raspberry Buttermilk cake...

 Louis is happy to have Ava home, too!
