The Outer Banks


We just got back from our FABULOUS vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We went for a family reunion with my Dad's side of the family, and it was so fun. The weather was perfect, and there was so much to do! We spend lots of time at the beach and in the swimming pool, played tennis and beach volleyball, and just hung out. It was great!




I recruited my sister to take some pictures of us at the beach, and she got some pretty good ones!

Ivy thought the sand was great, but wasn't so sure about the water. She also thought the crabs were fun to chase!



Even little Porter got to put his toes in the sand!

"The Tennis Ladies" My sis Monica, me, my counins Aimee and Steph. (We were actually horrible, but we sure had fun! John was playing with us, but he got bored so he went off to play basketball with the guys)

Little Miss Shades in the hot tub. Don't worry we turned the temp down :)


We went to Roanoke Island where they have a replica of the ship Christopher Columbus came to America on. It was tiny, and super chlostrophobic inside.


Just a cool picture John shot of a jelly fish.

Away we go!

Try not to be too jealous, but we're going on a vacation! I know, crazy. Do normal people usually go on vacation in the summer? This is all so new for us. But anyway, please don't give up on our blog- we'll be back with wonderful pictures of the beach, and hopefully a lighthouse or two!

I had jeopardy on while I was making dinner one day last week, and when I came into the living room to see what Ivy was doing, she had pulled a stool right up by the tv and was watching jeopardy. She must really love that trivia!


Porter is getting so strong! He looks like he's about ready to take off whenever I put him on his tummy.
