My Dad brought their Wii and we had a great time playing bowling (seen below), the boys got into boxing, and my personal fav was playing doubles with C in tennis! Some of us worked on this puzzle at night. At the end, the last piece was misplaced until Betsy heroically found the missing piece! Yay!
A favorite snack throughout the week was frozen grapes. They're very easy- simply put cleaned grapes into a freezer bag in the freezer! When you take them out of the freezer, let the grapes sit a little bit and they are like a grape slushie! MMMM...
My favorite time of the day on the beach was at dusk. It seems like everything slows down then and of course you can beat the heat that way. Mom and Dad joined us for a walk one evening and I couldn't resist the opportunity to snap a few pictures of these lovebirds! Aren't they cute?!
Emily and Rebecca enjoyed building sand castles, playing with Rouge, helping Grandmother cook, playing with puzzles, collecting sea shells, flying kites, the aquarium, and exploring the beach!
Caleb and I ventured out to explore more of our surroundings one afternoon and discovered Fort Macon. The beach was so flat you could see so far away. This is probably old news, but I didn't know dead Christmas trees were used to protect the dunes. Pretty cool.
Caleb and I had a couple of days at the end of the week when everyone had gone back to Raleigh for various reasons. We visited Beaufort and ate at the beloved Beaufort Grocery Company. If you look closely, you can see the wild horses that roam freely on certain parts of the beaches. We also had a great time playing putt-putt one evening and enjoyed visiting with extended family. Until next year!!
