Outer Banx's 2011

The kids were so excited....they had there

backpacks filled with lot of of goodies and off

we went....they could hardly wait!

The sounds....we would go over here in the mornings and

the kids would have so much fun playing.  We took the

kayak's over one morning, caught crabs several mornings

(highlight for the kids) and swam the first morning till

Olivia and Aaron got stung by jellyfishes and that that

was about the end of that.

Jellyfish sting...poor girl!

Bath time...always a favorite and fun time for the kids!

Uncle Chris and Olivia...this is about the only

time she let him hold her...she hadn't quite warmed up!

Grandpa's 60th! 

This actually was the whole reason for the trip....my dad

turned 60 and he wanted to spend it with the family!

The kids giving presents!  It was a fun day and great week!

Thanks dad for all you do, we love you!

Owen and his favorite buddy!

The kiddos...they played so well together

and had so much fun.

My beautiful little fair skinned, blue eyed girl!

One of the unlucky crabs we caught...Maddie getting close!

Fish...the guys drove out to where all the boats come in

and this is what you find....lots of big fish!

The girls

Driving go karts

The Beach..oh how I miss this place.  Loved

just sitting there...nothing better!

Aaron and Olivia playing in the

water and jumping the waves!

Night out...my parents watched the kids and the 4 of

us went out to an all you can eat Seafood restaurant...

and talk about delicious....amazing seafood!

Grandpa and Grandma and the kiddos...love their

attire...thought it was appropriate!

Cousins

Beautiful sunsets

Currituck Lighthouse

We climbed to the top and it was pretty high up there...my

sister and Aaron aren't big fans of heights, but were

troopers and went to the top, though Aaron

thought is was ridiculous and a waste of money.

Our family

Me and my hubby

Me and my sis

More beach...you can actually drive out on

beach at the end of the island. 

Love this picture....running full speed!

The sand dunes.  These are amazing dunes that you can

hike up...however walking on sand it hard and it was HOT

and the kids were miserable!  Then we get to the top with

our kites and there is barely any wind, which it was windy

every other day, but oh well.  It was a short lived trip

to say the least, but fun to do it!

Sissy trying to make the most of it!

Attempting to fly kites!

Aunt Tara and Olivia...finally towards the end of the week
she warmed up to her enough to let her snuggle for a few seconds!

The drive to the airport...the kids were exhausted from the fun filled

week.  It was  a great trip and sad to see it end.  Miss my family!
