Yes, I'm about a month late posting this.  Life has gotten in the way, but that's a whole different blog.  We went to the Outer Banks again this year, and for the first time ever we left from PA instead of NJ.  For me this was a great thing because we got to avoid the Ferry.  Ed on the other hand was heartbroken.

We had a great week and surprisingly we all survived nap time and bed time with all four of us being in the same room.  The boys loved the beach, being with family and just playing all day long.  Beware, there are a lot of pictures, but they will tell the story.

 The kids all ran down to the beach one night after dinner.  The dads in the group let them get in the water with their clothes on.  At first it made me twitch and then I realized nothing really matters on vacation.

 Best Buds who are going to get into a lot of trouble together in the future.  They are so much fun to watch!

 This is where I really started twitching.  Both boys rolled in the sand and turned into sugar cookies.  YUCK!

 Caden absolutely loved it.  He kept saying, "Mommy we swam in our clothes!"

 Mr. Elliot was the fishing master that week.  Every time he would catch a fish Caden would just start jumping up and down.  He was so excited.

 The boys were keeping an eye (touching and poking) the fish in the bucket.

 There was always some type of project happening at the beach.

 Yes, this is Jackson laying in the pack n' play the night before we left.  We had to keep him entertained while we packed, so he willingly watched a show on the Kindle.

 The LONG ride home.  We left at 6am and pulled into our house around 3pm.
