OBX 2012

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Well we made our first OBX visit of 2012 and the year is just about over. Even though we only live about an hour away from there we don’t go that often. The traffic is usually horrible. We decided to go yesterday and visit with Sarah while she was in town. It was fun and there really wasn’t a bunch of people there. It was overcast so not too hot and the water was just perfect. The boys had so much fun so I am hoping we can go back one more time before it cools off.

My boys had so much fun. By the way that is a dolphin fin not a shark. he he. Thanks for taking the family photo Sarah. I will always treasure it!

Here is a GIF of Dustyn getting tossed by a wave.

Gosh they really did love it. Love all the smiles Carsyn had while playing in the water. He is not sleeping in those last two photos but I think if I would have left him there he probably would have fallen asleep.

   

And a GIF of Carsyn’s legs getting thrown into the air from the wave.

Come back later today for pictures from Dustyn’s first day of Pre-K! Eeekkkk!!!

    What stunning photos. The one where Carsyn in laughing and looking at his older brother (the left top photo in the 2nd collage) brought tears to my eyes, WONDERFUL to see! I hope you will get the opportunity to go one more time this year.

Annie has been struggling lately with feeling angry. I’m hoping this will help and we can figure out how to best help her when she is upset. The books are super cute and have affirmations at the end.
