OBX - Fun in the Sun

We had amazing weather this year on vacation, so that meant for lots of time by the pool and at the beach!  There were sandcastles built, waves jumped, and walks on the beach.  Some of the days we continued the fun and had dinner by the pool.  Bryan was a huge fan of the pool and Addie even had her own little pool set up there as well, so everyone was happy.

Our little beach bum LOVES the water.  She is used to the bay so we had to keep an extra close eye on her with the bigger waves.  She has NO fear!  Luckily there were only 1 or 2 wipe outs and they didn't even seem to phase her.

When Addie isn't jumping in the waves, she always has a shovel in her hand ready to dig in the sand.

Happy kids (and adults) jumping in  the waves.

Thumbs up for being beach bums!

Dinner and drinks by the pool

Bryan was the happiest when he was in the pool!  He played basketball, 20 questions, and loved to be tossed in the air by Uncle Brian.

My dad didn't miss out on a single ray of sunshine!  Can you spot him down there hanging out by the pool during lunch?

My mom hung out at the house with Addie a few of the days during nap time, which meant Eric and I got to enjoy some baby free fun in the sun and it was amazing!

Bocce ball on the beach - until Uncle Brian lost the white ball in the waves.  Way to go!

I remember these days, baby free reading on the beach without a care in the world.

Daddy-daughter in shades!

Yes, that's my mom in the water.  She NEVER gets in and decided to get in this summer, sharks and all!

Flying Bryan - watch out!
