OBX

Or for anyone who does not live in VA or NC, that means Outer Banks!! When we first moved here I noticed on a lot of sporty, fun cars the license plates would read OBXxxx. I never could figure out why until this weekend!! We were lucky enough to go camping with 3 other families from Brad's squadron. 8 adults and 9 children, yeah, we were outnumbered!!

We headed down Friday morning and I could just see the glisten in Brad's eyes once he saw the kites in the water, he could.not.wait! After setting up we took the kids over and watched Brad set up, launch and surf on the water. In all the excitement of getting to watch Brad, I did not put the rest of us in our swimwear, but that did not stop us from having a good time!

The next morning we all set up our tents on the beach and let the kids play, play, play! There is nothing better than seeing all smiles on your child's face! Or hearing the laughter and excitement just by enjoying one of God's own creations! Love, love, love it!

What a way to end our long weekend than a beautiful sunset! We will see you soon OBX....

Rainy Days

We got spoiled for about a month here with sunny weather and then the rain put a damper on that pretty quickly. I honestly do not know how I lasted so long without being able to go outside everyday with the kids over the winter! Anyway, we get creative around here during those rainy days and this seems to become a trend that involves A LOT of laughter and imagination.

Mr. B loves to wear a backpack, just like his big Sis. Oh yeah, and he also likes to dress up a bit and pretend with his big Sis as well!

Overwhelmed....

Not posting for a LONG time gets me too overwhelmed, I feel I can never catch up from where I left off! So, I am just working from a couple weeks ago and will move forward from here on out (until I lapse again and the cycle repeats itself!)

Per your Requests....picture, pictures, pictures!!

We had a spurt of warmer weather over Easter and this one enjoys his water time!!

What I will never get tired of seeing.....these kids love books!

Our One Word for Spring.....CAMPING!!

(and LOVING it!!)

Our camping buddies! These two are too cute!!

Mr. B loves the fishing poles Nana got him for Easter!!

Remember the last post about the zoo?? We have been a few more times since then and just look how much they have grown!! It was enough to get them to sit still, so this is one of the best ones (with one or the other not sticking their fingers in their nose, or looking the other way.)

I hope I have somewhat redeemed myself. Off camping again this weekend, our first visit to the Outer Banks. Camping, sand, ocean, sun, friends....what more could you ask for!!
