We finally got our MeMa and PopPop to our beach house this summer! It was so much fun having them enjoy all of our OC favorites! Kirby's and Dumser's and the boardwalk and the beach! We hope they'll come visit us next Summer too!

                                       

                                         

Mama and Miss Pam painted all of the fence posts around the building so it wasn't that horrible brown anymore. It finally matches our siding and it looks SO MUCH BETTER!

                                      

Daddy and Mama had some fun outings with us and with friends this summer at the beach!

   

   

And it was just so nice to be in our happy place! We enjoyed every minute of it!

   

   

                                     

   

It was a bummer when Daddy had to go home to go to the political conventions but we held down the fort at the beach until he returned!

                                         

And Daddy took us home for some Silver Spring time too where we got to swim in Nana and Papi's pool and also go out for sushi with them!! Woo Hoo!

 

We had lots of meals out on our front porch at the beach. One of the best places for a meal! Home made and a sun set to boot! Then there was always running around on the beach after dinner. What could be better?

 

Wow, this must be when things got busy and where we left off...all good things. Cold Bobcats soccer matches at the Soccer Plex, Dematha scholarships and awards, school overnight trips for 7th grade...

 

 

 

 

                                           

                                             

We had a really fun week in Duck exploring all of our favorites and just having a great time! We went to the Dunes! 

                                     

                                       

   

   

   

Enjoyed some yummy food at I Got Your Crabs! 

   

                                       

   

I got a giant beef jerky stick which I did not share with anyone and ate the entire thing!

                                       

We got a lot of hot tub time in over the course of the week. Even Daddy and Mama joined us once or twice!

   

We took in some epic sun sets from the widows walk. And Mama made us pose for lots of pictures, of course!

   

   

   

We all found our Easter baskets on Easter morning! They were chock full of goodies!

                                       

The weather was perfect for sitting outside and reading books in the sunshine!

                                        

We even got some great beach time in! We got to enjoy some warm weather and we found a fish that Daddy and Mama made us keep away from them!

   

   

   

                                         

We had a spectacular Easter dinner with steaks and king crab legs!

   

and a mini carrot cake! YUMMY!

                                        

And we made sure to get lots of our favorite junk food in this week - Duck Donuts, Donutz on a stick, candy, etc, etc...

                                        

                                        

We also ran into old friends! That is always fun!

   

And we spent time at Sunset Grill's outdoor bar. It was a great time!

   

                                       

                                       

And a fantastic time in Duck! We'll see you soon Outer Banks!

   

 

 Today we braved the rain and the roads and the traffic and headed to the Outer Banks! 

                                  

And we weren't disappointed! We were greeted with sunny, blue skies and warm weather and sand between our toes! It was a great way to start Spring Break!

 

                                      

   

We thought it was going to be colder out on the beach but we were pleasantly surprised. The sun was nice and warm and some kids were even out in the water!

                                     

   

   

                                       

We sure are lucky to have a fun place to escape!
