Outer Banks - Part 1

Last week we went to the Outer Banks for a few days and shared a house with our long-time friends – the Flynns and the Brueggemans. It was an absolute blast. Jackson had SO much fun with Nate, Zach, Emily and Kate. He loved sharing a room with Nate! Some highlights were eating out for some incredible seafood, mommys shopping at the outlets, playing games after the kids went to bed, seeing Currituck Lighthouse, and of course the beach. Each morning we hit the beach and Jackson stayed in the water nearly the entire time. He absolutely is obsessed with riding waves on his boogie board and doesn't mind being pummeled by waves one bit. We stayed very close by, of course. He still shows no sign of fear. I really wish I had him on video.






Hannah camped out under the canopy. We converted her little tub to a beach bed and she slept to the sound of laughter and waves. We had to dip her toes in, though.



I love this picture of her holding her hat and sucking her thumb!

Our camera died mid-trip (so sad!), so we'll post some more pics that our friends took when we get those.

Looks and sounds like a wonderful time shared by all. Thanks for posting the pics. I love them, but they sure make me missed you guys really bad. Three weeks and you'll be here, right? Love, mom
