We LOVE the beach!

We just had the best week at the beach - so good that we collectively took around 500+ pictures. I know that I have to narrow it down because nobody (including me) wants to pull up a webpage and look at 500 pictures of someone else's vacation, so I did my best. Enjoy!
Kate & Mommy - enjoying some time at the pool

Brett & Daddy at the pool

We had one rainy day, so we ventured to the outlets with the rest of NC & SC - it was SUPER crowded, but the kids were great!

Same rainy day - dinner at Calabash

Brett: "Race cars on Poppy's phone"

Day #1 - the kids' first time on the beach since Brett was 7 weeks old

Kate needed a little help figuring out this sand stuff at first.

Free at last!

Surfer kids

Come on - are you surprised??

Say "Cheese!"

Kate loved digging in the dirt

Our view to the west

Mommy is on construction duty - Brett is the super over this project

Teaching Brett how to kick with the floaties on

Haha - someone left a bottle unattended - it WILL end up in the sand

Baby on the loose

Not really fazed by the water

Buried in the sand

Brett's favorite game - TAG!

Brett was mildly disturbed at he water in the mote

This pink bucket provided literally hours of entertainment

"Goof - ball"

Cute picture - if Kate had smiled - stinker!

Brett & Aunt Dithy - running in the waves, where there happens to be "no no bacon"

Kate's taking Mommy for a walk

The best attempt at a family picture - neither child looking

Runaway baby

Check out that trail

Practicing her handstands for the 2024 Olympic Games

Hopefully they won't have sandy floors - Kate doesn't like her hands dirty

Check him out - fly it high!

Super excited!

So high!

Kate wants to go back out and surf

It wouldn't be a week at the beach without real sand castles - check out this octopus



and this castle!




Bye! See you next year!
