It has been quite a week in the Hare household. Our biggest news is we bought a house! We submitted the offer on father's day and after some back and forth it was ours! It is in the subdivision we wanted (community pool!) and the house is on a cul-de-sac street. It is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath with way more room than we need downstairs. We'll have some empty rooms for years! Lots of pics below. My parents say we didn't get a huge backyard, but the inside makes up for it. I think we're moving in August 15th. We hope you will all visit us over the years.
Charlotte is so much fun!
I did end up taking Daddy to a North Charlotte park Father's Day weekend. What a fun place. They have a train, carasoul, petting zoo, aquarium, water sprayers, ducks, picnic areas and playgrounds galore. My parents say we can go back when it is cooler so I can enjoy the HUGE playground. I had another ear infection this week, but they caught it early so it hasn't affected me too much. Mommy and I seem to have the same cold that won't go away. I've been keeping my parents hoping during the nights when my coughing keeps me awake. I seem to be over the worst.
Bamma & Bampa just left after a whirlwind visit. They had to pick out all the insides for their new townhouse that they hope will be built by May 2009. I have promised to take my shovel over to their property to start digging if the contractors don't start soon.
Not sure what our upcoming plans will be. I see a lot of trips to Home Depot in my future as we get ready to move into our new house (mid-August).
Stay cool in this summer heat. Enjoy the pics.

I hope they leave the rocking chair
Backyard. Just picture it with all my toys strewn around
The hill is bigger than it looks in this pic
My new room (it's nicer in person)

Living room - or what I like to call my playroom since Mommy has no idea what furniture to put in here

Great room off the kitchen

Bonus room - will be our guest room for now since Mommy says I am too little to play upstairs by myself.

I was a little unsure about the train at the park

But once I saw all the animals (fake) I started to really enjoy it. The ride was a little short. What else do I expect for $0.50 though?!

This park had fish too. And way too snakes.

The steering wheel on this playground came with a train.

The entire playground had a sand base. I was in heaven!

First picnic. I think I like picnics, though Mommy doesn't seem to like dirt! I don't think camping is in my future.

I found all sorts of sticks after lunch

This park had ducks too! I wanted to take the paddle boat for a closer look, but my parents thought that might be a little too close for comfort!

We got hail this week. Didn't have any of that in Florida!

First time in the new sandbox. So much fun! I don't know why my parents didn't put more sand in it. So what if we're moving in 2 months and this sandbox is on a 2nd floor patio. They can carry all that sand down!

Learning how to shuck corn

Trying to escape with my find

Eating corn on the cob for the first time. I actually ate it! (Mommy said that was a big deal).
