Vacation Part 1

After two fun-filled days in the car, we FINALLY arrived at the Beach House in Nags Head, N.C. Saturday. The kids were SO excited, we got the BEST room in the house (it had a walk in HUGE shower and whirlpool tub)!!! The first thing we did was put on our swimsuits and went for a walk on the beach!! It was wonderful! We were so excited to get there early enough to be able to go out on the beach. Ben & Emma got to play in the sand, then Papa buried Ben!!
After we worked up an appetite, we ate dinner at a lovely restaurant named Miller's overlooking the water.

Sunday we got up early and put on our suits and went out for a day on the beach. The kids had a blast picking up SeaShells!! Papa buried Emma in the sand, she LOVED it and didn't want to get back out. Benny & Daddy waded in the water, then we all went up to our heated pool (Yeah we were spoiled!)!!

Monday was another beautiful day at the Beach, Chris & I swam in the ocean while my mom watched the kiddos play in the sand. It was wonderful even though the water was FREEZING!! Then I took a cat nap while Chris & the kids made an AWESOME Sand Castle complete with a Bridge ;) It was wonderful until I went inside and noticed I had forgotten to put sunscreen on my legs...Red is not really a great skin color (yikes) ;) Needless to say I learned my lesson on that one. After we cleaned up from the beach, My Uncle Greg, Ben and Michael made brownies!! Ben loved being the Seus Chef (though I don't think he'll be hired by any fine eating establishments any time soon (see pics of him eating the brownie mix))!! What a mess, but he had a total BLAST!

Stay tuned for more Vacation pics in the next few days........
