NC Beach

We just got back from North Carolina visiting my family. Two of my sisters were able to come as well which was so great! (We really missed my other sister Emily and her family though.) We took a few days to go to the North Carolina coast. The kids had a blast. It's always great to get the cousins together!

Sam adores Uncle Ken and would only go in the water with him.

There were fireworks one night and so we were able to watch them from our balcony.



Early morning walks on the beach - my favorite!









Daddy and Nora


Daniel and Leah building sand castles.


Kat: We were walking back from the beach as the downpour hit! We got a little rain here and there... but it was still fun.




On the way home we were going to go tour the USS North Carolina but we ran out of time. All we had time for was a picture in front of it. Daniel was a little disappointed I think. We'll make sure we get to go next time.

I'm glad you were able to see your family. Looks like you had a great time. I'm glad your back (for a little bit).
