Beach Week

Last week (Sat. 6/19- Sat. 6/26) we enjoyed our stay in Corolla, North Carolina with our extended family. This is the 7th year where Grandma and Grandpa have arranged our beach trip. We travel from Maryland, Virginia and Arkansas. We stayed in the same house (The Voyage - newly painted green...) as last year - a block from the beach, and a short walk for Dave and I for our morning coffee and bagels. We had a great week at the beach, in the pool, and lots of family time.

Most of all, Amelia and Ava loved their cousin time and their late nights at the beach and the pool. Drew loved a lot of time in the pool and ocean. Jenna loved exploring new people, a new house, the ocean, sand and pool. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for the fun! These are memories that we will always cherish.

I dropped my precious camera in the ocean mid-week. I have pictures from the first half of the week and have to point out that I had serious withdrawls from not having my camera attached to me at all times.......The pictures above are as follows: the girls enjoying the beach, Drew's cool ride to the beach (borrowed from the fire station), Jenna and I on an early, early morning walk before Dave figured out that those early morning walks are REALLY VERY NICE and decided that he would start taking them instead of me, Grandma and Grandpa with Jenna as they guard her from taking a nose dive directly into the ocean waves, Dave and my sweet smiley Drew enjoying some rest time, and Amelia in her blue butterfly chair in Duck (I have taken her picture in this chair every year since six months of age).
