Ocean Isle Beach

At night on the beach Crabbin'...a tradition we love!

 Hi Friends!
This past week, we went to Ocean Isle Beach with the Grahams.  This was actually our 11th year doing this trip.  So hard to believe!  Anyway, it's always great fun.   We stay in the same house every year that is one block from the beach and is a great layout for the whole family.  This year was no exception and we had a wonderful time!  Unfortunately, I was a ding-dong and forgot to pack my camera which I realized 2 hours after we had left from home.  So-thanks to Mrs. Graham, who kindly sent me these pictures!  The down side is that for some of them I can't figure out how to rotate them on Blogger (help Brooke!)

Anna and her crab carrier!  Dontcha love the outfit??  Ha!

All 3 kids swabbing the deck (is that what it's called??) on the pirate ship at Benjamins.  Also a tradition!

My buddy and I riding bikes.  This is one of my best memories of the trip this year.  We had such a fun time!!

Daddy painting Anna's toenails.  Safe to say that this little girl has him wrapped around her little finger!!

Colton and Little Bit!  These little ones sure love their big cousin!!

What a great vacation!  I treasure these times making memories so much...look forward to doing it again.  This trip somewhat marks the end of summer for me, especially with school starting this week.  It sure is a great way to end it though!!
