Sweet Summertime!

We've found a cool little beach to hang out at this summer. Here's a few pictures from one of our venture across the sound!

Still on Vacation...

On our way back from Hatteras we decided to stop in Pirates Cove and spend the night since the house wasn't rented that weekend. We had stopped at Aunt Jacky & Uncle David's pizza joint in Rodanthe for a pizza pie, and enjoyed it on the dock at the house.


Andy, Brooke, Crewe, Gigi, & Big Daddy met us there and Andy brought the boat- so we all went for a ride! Here's the babies cover with sunscreen!

Grace was worn out!

It was such a HOT day that we went to the pool once we got home to cool off!

On Sunday we decided to take another boat trip. Here's the kiddos waiting outside for us to hurry up!

We found this really cool island that had TONS of hermit crabs.

Then we went by boat over to Manteo and had a delicious lunch at Poor Richards! Yumm-o!

Hatteras: June 23-26

In June, Scott fished in the Hatteras Marlin Club Tournament. He invited Grace and I to go with him. This was a great family oriented event. The tournament lasts all week and there are family and children related events throughout the time there. We were able to go and stay Wednesday through Saturday.

The fisherman on Scott's boat took a lay-day on Thursday so we got to hang out by the pool!

Our hosts for the week were some of Scott's friends at Albemarle. They make this week their family vacatione every year and they opened their beach house to us as well. The Haigler's just had two beautiful twins in February and they got to spend some time at the pool too! This is Eloise...

And Mr. Bear...

After Grace's morning nap we'd head to the pool for an hour or two and then come back and just hang out around the cottage. Grace & I played out on the dock, in the shade. Vacation can wear you out!


Before dinner Friday night we snapped this family photo. Its not a very good one, but it works! ;)

Morehead City: Day 1- June 12th

The Kick-off weekend to the Big Rock, Scott and I joined Grace in Morehead City. He went a day earlier, but Grace and I met him down there Saturday afternoon. They were already on the boat so we just hopped aboard!
