We just came back from a great week down in Outer Banks, NC and have lots and lots of pictures to prove it;) This is the fourth year we have been able to head down there for vacation, although this was the first time we actually went in the summer rather than waiting until fall.
The driving was not fun going either direction and unfortunately Mitch somehow contracted hand, foot and mouth disease the entire week we were away - but other than that, we had a really nice vacation from our normal routines. We went down with two other families that are good friends and all of our kids had a blast together as well.
I really have a hard time just picking a few favorites, so here a whole bunch of pictures for you to look through at your leisure....
 |
| Noah using his neck pillow as a hat:) |
 |
| After close to 11 hours of driving (which should have only been about 7 or 8), we are finally almost to our house and the boys are still smiling!! |
 |
| Late pizza lunch in Duck, NC. |
 |
| Off to the beach! |
 |
| The water was really warm and very clear - the kids were loving life! |
 |
| Micah waiting for some snacks... |
 |
| Noah and Aaron playing in the sand. |
 |
| Micah was NOT a fan of the waves at all and this is about as close as he would get to filling up his bucket (the water is pretty far behind where I was standing). |
 |
| Micah is also not a fan of taking group pictures as you can tell by this one as well as the one at the top of the article! |
 |
| He is, however, very much into setting up cars in very particular rows:) |
 |
| Sammy and Micah eating lunch! |
 |
| Uno! |
 |
| Dinnertime! |
 |
| Off for a night of family fun... |
 |
| We finally got a pic with all 3 boys smiling! |
 |
| Micah loved setting up these stuffed penguins he found in a store. |
 |
| Daddy and Noah driving go-karts... |
 |
| ...and here is Caleb and Daddy racing around the track. |
 |
| Treats! |
 |
| We spent one afternoon taking lots of family pictures... |
 |
| Belly shot - 6 more weeks until we meet our little girlie! |
 |
| Just the boys... |
 |
| Group shot! |
 |
| Family pic #1 |
 |
| Micah and Sammy - we were holding our breath that they wouldn't fall in while we quick snapped a few pictures! |
 |
| Family pic #2 |
 |
| Daddy and his boys! |
 |
| Me and my boys! |
 |
| Love this picture that Mitch took of Caleb! |
 |
| Feeding the turtles in the community pond... |
 |
| We counted at least 15 turtles at one point and I'm sure there were lots more. |
 |
| Lunch break! |
 |
| One morning I got some special time with each of my boys and this is me and Noah out looking for shells. |
 |
| Caleb was next and we also went shell hunting along the beach! |
 |
| As for Micah - we took a walk the other way and found a deer! |
 |
| The two of us also stopped for coffee and scones;) |
 |
| Despite being sick, Mitch made it down a few times to the beach! |
 |
| Daddy and his boys (and his cough drops!). |
 |
| Noah playing in the ocean. |
 |
| Micah and Sammy playing catch, although I think they are a little far apart! |
 |
| Swimming! |
 |
| The day we left was Caleb's birthday and so before departing, I took him out for a special breakfast! |
 |
| We also picked up some donuts after breakfast so we could light a kabob stick (forgot the candles!) and sing to him before we got back in the car for 10 hours. | | |
