Fun in Charlotte, NC

This past weekend our family took a long weekend and headed south to Charlotte to visit Morgan's godmother (and my dear friend), Melanie and her family. Melanie and her husband Patrick welcomed Morgan's God-brother, Ethan, on July 26th and we were going down to meet him for the first time. It's not too far from home, and we were really excited to go.

Morgan had an awesome time. She had the run of the place. She greatly enjoyed visiting with the 4 kitties in the house, playing with Ethan's toys, picking out his outfits, and generally enjoying the attention of all 4 adults in the house.
At the park in Aunt Melanie's neighborhood

The weather was simply beautiful. After our Saturday morning at the park and playing with baby Ethan, the girls headed out on an adventure, leaving Uncle Patrick, Daddy, and Ethan home to watch golf (snore!).

Building a very odd structure at Discovery Place in downtown Charlotte with Aunt Melanie

Bravely walking the rope bridge....I went and just about fell flat on my nose.

Getting ready to watch a 3D movie about sharks. It was the first real 3D movie she's seen, and it was so much fun watching her reach her hands out to "catch" jellyfish or "touch" the turtle.

Her favorite spot in the entire center was the water table. I was not surprised. She had a ball!

Playing percussion "instruments" at Discovery Place

These ducks walked almost up to Melanie and Patrick's front door to get some bread. Morgan had a great time feeding them.

Morgan learned how to play UNO, which she was very good at! She and Aunt Melanie must have played 50 games :)

Morgan was very sad to leave and is already asking when she will get to go back. We'll make a pit stop there in December on our way to Florida. I think we are all excited about that!
