Outer Banks

We spent a wonderful week at the beach with my family last week. I loved seeing Benjamin for a whole week- he is such a cutie! Jenny's mom joined us too and we all stayed in a great house one lot back from the beach. The weather was actually pretty terrible most of the week, but we had about 2 1/2 days worth of beachy weather. The ocean was cold and waves were huge and the red no swimming flag was up. It might be the only time I have ever been to the beach and not gone swimming. I usually would have been tempted to go regardless of the flag, but thought maybe 7 month baby meece might not enjoy getting tossed around in the waves. We would wade out far enough to get Sky wet and she loved it. She loved the water coming towards her and would squeal when the waves hit. She loved the sand too and was a complete mess. She would try and wrestle out of our arms to get down so she could crawl and dig in the sand.
On our rainy days we would lounge around in pjs, play with Ben and Sky, read, just hang out, and of course eat lots of yummy food. Skylar loved having so much attention and was waving HI to everyone all week. She also loves to say uh-oh and has finally perfected the uh-oh and drop a toy off the high chair trick.

Ben is his cute swim suit
I love this face! She looks scared to death....but really she loved it.

Ben is such a little chunk. He is going to catch up to Skylar in no time.

Skylar wearing Ben out with her high energy face. He needs a nap just watching her cause she never stops moving.

More More MORE! I love all of these. I think my favorites are Sky sitting next to Ben in his bouncer, such cute faces, and the beautiful pics of her in the new dress! She is so precious. Looks like a nice time.

Those are the BEST pics!! I know it rained, but it looked like a lot of fun. Sky looks so old compared to Benj. I am so glad ya'll got to do a big family trip.
