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.

It was an adventure to get there but we finally di It was an adventure to get there but we finally did. The place we normally park was closed for repaving so we went on the hunt for a new place. It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is almost the end of May! Had my hair trimmed yesterday, and my eyebrows tinted. The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
