OBX 2009 - Part 2

The weather forecast for our week at the beach was not looking too good. Our first day was nice and sunny, but beyond that, rain was being called for basically every day. Oh well...at least we were away from home and with family...change of scenery is always nice! As it turned out, there were a few decent days (or parts of days) that we were able to take advantage of.

We discovered that Charlotte was NOT a big fan of the sandy beach. I thought her dislike was more for the strong winds that we encountered on our first visit, but upon further visits, her opinion didn't really improve. I guess she is like her Mommy and would rather be at the pool!

"Ewwww, what is this stuff, Mom?!"

"Ah, the wind!"

"Another picture?!"

Momentarily distracted by a toy, allowing us to move away from her for a second and get a picture...



A cute little footprint, just to prove she did actually stand on the sand...for a second or two!

Gabriel really enjoyed the beach! He got knocked off his little feet by a mini wave, was soaking wet and sandy, yet still smiling...so cute!

Madeline also enjoyed her time down on the sand


Because of the rainy and chilly weather at the beach, we spent a lot of time inside the house just hanging out. The kids had fun playing with each other (between the families, we had brought plenty of toys to keep them entertained).
