Beach days

We hit the beach up 6-7 times during the 3 weeks we were there! The water wasn't too chilly and we all had a blast (and it gave my parents some down time at the house, ha!!)

We were able to meet up with the Kownack girls and catch up!

We all missed Bobby though!

My favorite picture! :)

We borrowed two body boards from the Kownacks during the weeks we were there and the girls really got the hang of it!

We went to the inlet down the road from my parents with their neighbors and had fun despite the water snake we kept seeing!

A super crowded day at Sandbridge

We also got to link up with my childhood friends, Amy and Sara (Campbell) and their kiddos!

Luke and Miles (Sara's youngest)

Hailey and Avery (Sara's oldest)

Sara's girls with my kids

A photo bomb from James (Amy's middle boy)

And we had ANOTHER fun beach day with another childhood friend, Nicole (Falardeau)

The girls loved playing with her middle daughter, Renae

Her youngest, Hayden with Luke

And lastly, we checked out both Navy waterparks in Little Creek and Dam Neck...loads of fun!!!

We spent 3.5 weeks at my parent's house in Pungo. We all had a blast and the kids can't wait to go back. My parent's neighbors have multiple farm animals (and 3 little girls!!!!) so it was right up the kids' alley!

Flower (the pony), Sunny (the horse) and Donkey (the donkey)

Luke absolutely LOVED this little motorcycle that my mom found for .50cents at a yard sale for my brother, Mike, over 30 years ago!!!!! And take note of the awesome jungle gym that my parents built this summer for the kids!

Both girls loved this "go-cart"

I had my fair share of shopping sprees and told my mom that I wasn't allowed to set foot in Michael's anymore on that trip! :)

The best way for a man to shop!!

The kids pulled multiple toys and games out of the attic and this ridiculous game from my childhood called Pig Pong was a big hit! :)

With the help from my mom, the girls knitted their own winter hats while they were there!

We all got a hair trim and the girls had some color extensions added.

Sawyer, the neighbor dog...he came by everyday to visit Leila

Playing out front

The neighbors also have chickens and each of them begged to go chase them everyday!

So many crafts!

I think she was laughing because she had turned my dad into a fairy with an app on her phone!

Oh that baby boy!!!!

Many volleyball games!

Jungle gym fun!

Leila and Sawyer hanging out...Leila had to be on a leash because she'd always sneak away to go chase the chickens!!! She got to the point where she didn't want to take a walk and would refuse to leave the cul-de-sac because she only wanted to go see the chickens! :)
