The Outer Banks

We went to the Outer Banks for Memorial Day weekend. The weather was awesome and most of the family went. Travis/Shawnie and kids, Michelle/Brian and kids, Mom, Kara, and Mandy. Here is Cecelia helping Shane build a ditch.









Robert is using his huge muscles to pull the surfboard! It looks like he may take after Daddy and be a surfer.











Brian taught my cousins kids how to surf while we were there. He is such a patient teacher. He know coaches Robert's T Ball team and teaches tennis twice a week. He is such a hard worker.






































I just love Shane's smile. We had a pool and hot tub at the house we rented and I don't think Shane got in the pool once. He was quite content to stay in the hot tub.
















I mean how cool is Robert?! Walking on the beach talking to cousin Hannah Rose! He is such a stud!










Cecelia attacks Robert on a daily basis. She had him by the nose here!












Shane decided he had enough beach fun and decided to take a siesta on daddy!











It was still early in the season for the water to be warm. It took the kids by surprise how chilly it was. This is two of the kids cousins...... Luke and Mason.











Here are all the rascals...... Luke, Robert, Drake, Shane, and Mason. Having all these boys cousins is great. But..... it can get loud with all the boys in the same house!










We had such a great time that we have decided to make this a yearly tradition! It wasn't too hot and we had a great breeze. The kids had a blast and it gave the adults a chance to hang at night when the crazy kids crashed after playing all day! I can't wait till next year!
