Happy Birth-o-ween

Read part I of our trip to BHI here! Here is part 2: Birch turns 4, and Halloween on Bald Head Island.

Golf + Island Hopping

On our third day we had some dreary weather. 

Golf + Island Hopping

A Rising Tide

We’ve never see the tide this high! Apparently it’s a fall thing. 

Halloween on Bald Head Island

 

Mazen and Thomas went to play golf, and Birch and I ran some errands, including picking up his birthday cake!

Lunch at the Club

I was in need of a big salad, so we went to the club for lunch to meet Mazen after his front 9.

Flemming Education Center

We had hoped to swim, but it started to rain. (The pool is heated, but not that heated.) So we went to Flemming at the BHI Conservancy to visit the snakes and turtles!

Fishin’ Time

When Thomas got home we all took a little rest and then the boys did more fishing, per usual.

Dinner at the Palms

We had hoped to cook one night, but Thomas and I were feeling quite lazy, so we went out to dinner again. Not a great use of money, but also, a great use of money : ) : ) 

We went to the Palms at the Club, which is their more casual pub. 

Palms at the Club

We had fondue to share (which Mazen LOVED), and I had crab bisque and some of the best brussels sprouts I’ve ever had!

4th Birchday

on Saturday Birch turned 4!!!!!! Check out my Instagram for some memories of his birth day.

Lunch Party

After a lazy morning we had his party at lunchtime. I took the boys for a spooky walk while Thomas decorated.

Gifts

He opened some gifts!

Birch and bug toys

And went on a scavenger hunt for his “big” gift – a Yoto Player!

Pirate Cake

Then it was cake time! We ordered his cake from Sara at Island Times Cafe. It was everything we had hoped for!

Captain Jack Sparrow loved it!

Let Them Eat Cake

We didn’t make them eat anything else for lunch. Just cake!!

I had cake first and then a bowl of brussels sprouts leftover from dinner. lol.

Halloween on Bald Head Island

After the party we put on our costumes for trick or treating! 

Halloween on Bald Head Island

I’m so glad I thought to pack costumes because we had no idea that many of the island homes participate in this Saturday daytime event. I had googled “Halloween on Bald Head Island” and came up with nothing. It was SO FUN!

Golf Cart Halloween

Thomas was the driver and I used the map and guide to navigate us all around the island to the homes that were participating. We felt a great sense of community when we finished two hours later.

Some of the homeowners dressed up in costumes. Birch loved this pirate house.

Spooky Night at the Club

After a rest, we headed to the club for dinner and a haunted house. 

The boys had a great time watching the ghouls warm up during dinner.

Dinner at Horizons

I had grouper, veggies, and grits for my entrée.

And I was so excited to see that the Holderness Family was dining across the veranda from us!! You might know them from their funny musical parody videos or the Amazing Race!

Haunted House

The club did an epic haunted house. They turned the pool blood red, and there were multiple sections. I didn’t get any photos since it was so dark, but Mazen loved it!

Birch had zero interest in going through.

Bon voyage

We headed home on Sunday morning on the ferry. It was a great fall trip!

    What do you think of the Yoto player? I was thinking of getting it for Christmas for my son. Looks like a wonderful trip!

      Love it so far! We got some of the creative cards and I bought his two favorite sound tracks: Aladdin and Pirates!
