Vacation

We decided to take advantage of the low May rates to visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It has been a great vacation. The lazy kind where you just kick back and relax. There is no reason to rush around and we have all been really relaxed!

I am always amazed at how some sand and waves can occupy my boys for hours on end. As soon as I think they are getting bored, they discover another game, dig another hole or figure out something else to build with the sand. Each day they build up a little more courage to go out in the waves a little more. By this I mean they go out to where it builds to their knees when the waves peak. Truly, we are here for the sand. All they need are two bucket hats, swim trunks, SPF 60, and a couple of shovels.

Brad's parents came down for a few days and we were able to see the sights in the area and learn about the history. The weather didn't cooperate while they were here, but the showers passed quickly and we all enjoyed having them here. Unfortunatley, my dad was covering for someone who was on vacation and wasn't able to come down this time. Maybe next year.

There is something wonderful about the ocean and I am so happy I got to share it with the kids because I think they love it more than I do!
