After our week in Florida, we headed north for a week with my moms family in the OuterBanks.
My mom and her siblings rented this great house a block from the beach. It had 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, basketball court, and a game room. It was so nice to be with everyone under one roof and we were spoiled with one of the master suites - the benefits of having two little rug-rats :) We are so thankful to my mom and her family for allowing us to be so comfortable.
Cole slept on this flight... not so much on the flight home from the east coast though!

My parents went for a walk on the beach and my dad found a crab a mile away from where we were at. He carried the crab the entire way back so Joseph and Sydney could see it....and then put it on his head :) Major Poppa points!
