~Our week at the beach~

My family has been taking a weekly trip to the beach since I was born. As always we had such a great time. We went to the beach, ate out, cooked in, went for several ice cream runs to Dairy Queen and Logan's and did quite a bit of relaxing. Most days as Abby was taking her afternoon nap I would lay in the hammock on the second floor porch and read. I will pocket that little piece of bliss and save it until next summer. Our evenings were filled with bowling on the Wii, I think we would all agree it's time to hit Village Lanes. I cannot wait for our beach trip next year as baby Wiatt will be with us! Abigail is a girl after my own heart, a true lover of the beach and ocean. She is fearless of the waves and a real beach girl! A co-worker of my mom's always called me "beach girl" as I was growing up and I am now passing that on to Miss Abby, my own little "beach girl".

Nothing like a good read!

Abby loved giving Uncle Robbie a sand bath!

Robert and I before going out to dinner.Abigail and Layla were kitty cat's all week, although Abby didn't have her whisker's in this picture. Abby was Bella and Layla was Itty Bitty, we laughed so hard at them. Cutest little kitty's I've ever seen!! :)

Mom is such a good sport! :)

We went to the North Carolina Aquarium on Friday morning and Abby loved it. We gave her pacifier's to the sharks so they can give them to their babies. Abby is a big girl now and doesn't need them. She has done so well with it which makes me one proud MAMA! Breakfast at the Nags Head fishing pier. CHEESE! Robert and Abby playing in the water.

My favorite picture! 4 GENERATIONS Me, Mom, Abigail and Mama. I could not be more proud to stand next to these two beautiful amazing women.

Our friends John and Nikki were in town for the weekend. They came over on Sunday afterwe got back from the beach, this is their little boy Sye. He and Abby had a ball playing together. She had a hard time giving up his toys, a pig and a purple car that Nick had given him. We are learning to share but it's a very difficult task at this age! : ) Sye was 2 in June and Abby will be 2 next week. Where has the time gone?!
