Yep, we are back home. We are just taking it easy today trying to get back into the swing of things with life as usual at our house. We had a fabulous sun filled week at the beach. Thank goodness the weather was much cooler this year. And there were no smokey days or biting flies! And only two days that it rained late in the day. It took a few days for Jackson to get used to the beach, but I am blaming that on teething and the 102 temperature he had. He finally warmed up to the sand and even fell in love with the wading pool in the community. I have tons of pictures to download but I won't bore you with them all.
Day 1: Morning at the beach. Afternoon hanging out in the neighborhood. We had a house on a very quiet cul-de-sac so the kids had lots of room to roam.
Still running... in circles!
Heading back to get the wagons for a ride!
Day 2: Jackson was having a VERY hard day. He had a high fever the night before and was just beat. So we (Jackson and I) headed back to E City to see our friend Janice and finally meet her daughter Anna. It was a fun few hours spent at Laurie's house. It was so good to see her again.
Day 3: Back to the beach. We had a great morning with lots of playing in the sand and water. After everyone had a great nap, we headed to a local park to wear the kiddos out some more.
Jackson had rocks in his hands the entire week.
The boy LOVES his rocks!
Day 4: Beach in the morning, pool in the afternoon. The kids had a great time in the wading pool going in and out and walking all over the place. Mr. Mac was teaching them all how to blow bubbles!
Think he has changed a bit since last summer?
Getting boogie board lessons from Daddy.
Ready to hit the water!
Heading back home for lunch and naps!
Jackson drug his rake and hoe the whole way home.
Day 5: Beach again! (sense a pattern!) and pool in the afternoon. HOT HOT HOT Day!! The pool was packed. We didn't last as long as the day before. Too crowded and too hot!
Day 6: Last morning at the Beach (sniff, sniff.) Afternoon thunderstorms kept us inside.
What a great week. Until next year! Thanks OBX for a wonderful vacation!!

Wow, what a great bunch of pictures, and they made me so jealous of your wonderful vacation! I am glad you had great weather, because every time they showed that area, it looked like it was RAIN RAIN RAIN (like what we have had here for the last 3 wks!), so happy it was not!
**Also, you are right, Jackson sure has changed from last year's trip to the beach! What a difference a year makes! Can't wait to see you! Jackson's new "cousins" Boots and Elmo can't wait to meet him either! Beware, they are very fresh!
