We had the amazing privilege of spending a whole week at Topsail Island, NC with Justin's family. 7 days of sunshine, eating, sand, ocean, eating, seashells, crabbing, eating, cousins and eating.

To my Oklahoma friends - these are rain clouds. They do exist...even though with this drought it might be up for discussion. |

Haylie could spend all day in the water...and pretty much did. |

Crouching baby, hidden paci. |

Hard at work. |

Water time with Daddy. |

We like to coordinate our swim wear. |

Wanting to be out in the ocean. |

Making sand angels with his feet. |
We had an amazing time. I kept my expectations low with bringing a 6 month old...and they were exceeded! Jace did well. He had an adjustment sleeping period, but then would take two long naps a day so we could have some beach time. We didn't make Haylie nap and she did well with few melt downs. The guys got to have a full day of fishing and the girls got to go shopping. We enjoyed quality time with aunts, uncles and cousins. We watched the Olympics every night (up wayy too late - dang east coast time) and celebrated birthdays and cousin Victoria's baby. We look forward to this trip every year and were so glad to be able to go. This was a great year since Haylie LOVED being in the ocean and didn't mind the sand like last year. Even Jace had fun in the sand.
This was probably the best year yet. Love this family tradition!

I didn't realize y'all went to Topsail! My brother's been living like 5 minutes from there in Snead's Ferry for the last few years!
B loves the sand at the beach unless it is in his shoes. We're in CA and apparently it's against the law fir kids to wear life jackets/floaties in the ocean.
