My family (parents, all six kids, spouses, and grandkids - 14 adults, 13 kids under the age of 7) rented a beach house in Corolla, NC on the Outer Banks for a week. The weather was perfect. The house had a pool and the beach was a 3 minute walk. No one got the flu and Max was EXHAUSTED at the end of the week. He slept most of the five hour flight home!
He loved the beach and especially the waves! No matter how cold it was, Max was in the water.

Max was too busy off playing to take a picture with us.


Sydney was fascinated with the crab holes (above). She also like to dig a hole to sit in. One time a wave came up and splashed her as she was bending over. She didn't like that at all!


There were little crabs all over and the kids loved to hold them.


Below, Sydney has a crab in her right hand. She loved holding it (and squeezing it).
My brother caught this big crab. If you look closely, it is blowing bubbles. It was so mad that it hung on to this tube for awhile. It took some effort to make it let go.

My mom has always video-chatted with the kids. We had not seen her for about a year and Sydney ran right up and gave her a huge hug. It made me very thankful for modern technology.

Max commandeered any baby he could convince someone to put on his lap. He was ALWAYS asking me if he could hold the babies. He would say, "Ahhhh, the baby is sooooo cute!"

Sydney couldn't be left out so she would always hold the baby too. By the end of the week, she was in love with all things baby.

Sydney would watch all of us around the table doing the puzzle and she climbed up one day and started "helping" with the puzzle too.

She looks like she knows exactly where that piece goes!

We went over the Wright Brothers museum and some sand dunes right near there in Kill Devil Hills. They were fun! and TIRING to walk around in all that sand.



Sometimes I take a picture and am so impressed that I got the framing, lighting, and the smiling all decent. This picture of my mom and nephew is always going to be one of my favorites.
