NC is a pretty neat state, well coastal NC anyways. We've been continuing our explorations of the area with a ride on the Southport Ferry! I had heard about Southport recently when I booked my first extra gig!!! I was on the set of the movie, Tammy. I was a lake go-er. Basically, I just hung out with these two other girls they put me with and we pretended to walk to our spot, "talking", and got paid to sit out and tan on the lake all day while they shot the movie. It was a very awesome experience. The coolest part was when the lead actress, Melissa McCarthy, heard that one of the extras, a mom, was being mean to her kid on set. She ordered her to leave right away! Go Melissa! We got to be on set for 2 days, which was hard on me and Cameron. I had to run away and pump at every break (breastfeeding + being an extra does NOT equal fun), but it all worked out. But I did get a good paycheck out of it! You get 8/hr for the first 8 hours, and then time and a half after that!! And time and a half was earned both days. I could get used to doing stuff like this. Even if it's not real acting, it's so awesome to be on a real movie set and see how Hollywood really works. :)
Back to Southport! We got up early and drove to the ferry. It was really cool. We drove on and got out and sat inside, while we took turns walking around outside! Bianca's tongue came with us as well (which caused lots of giggling from others).
We ate at a local diner for lunch and drove to the beach! It was nice. Cam's getting a little bit more used to the beach, as long as he has some milk to drink and he can be held (if he's awake).
We were thankful for a successful beach day! We just drove back home from Southport so we wouldn't have to stick to any kind of schedule. It was a nice drive back, but the ferry was fun too! That night I think our kids had the case of the sillies...just observe.
The next day, we hit up the Poplar Grove Farmer's Market, which was neat. We didn't get much, since farmer's markets usually have more in the fall, but Bobby did find some salsa he wanted to try! Then we drove around and decided to go to Oak Island for our beach time today. We weren't going to go to a beach, but we figured why not. Bianca's bathing suit was a bit big for her, which of course caused some tears, and Cam only had on a onesie, but It was still nice! Another nice beach day: CHECK! A girl could get used to all this ;)
I shall end this post with another funny movie and some adorable pics of our little ones. We are truly blessed indeed. :-D
(thanks for the glasses, Grandma!)
