Nags Head 2011

Last week we packed up the car for a 10 hour drive to Nags Head, North Carolina for our yearly beach trip with the Suter Family! It sure is a long ride, but we had a great vacation together. Braiden was a perfect traveler and proved to be a real beach bum :-)

Here's the beach bum himself!

Pure joy... Enjoying ice cream :-)

This was too funny to not take a picture

Hunter, Braiden, and Kyle

To say that he loved the beach is an understatement :-)

It was in the 80's and our FL baby was a bit chilly after swimming

Braiden spent much of his time rolling in the sand

He found out that sand doesn't taste to good!

Checking out the fish Hunter caught

Checking out a sand crab with Mason

Amazing to think that all of these grown teenagers were once smaller than Braiden and I babysat them. They're now driving and heading off to college!!!!!!!!!

On Monday all of the guys went out deep sea fishing. They did great and caught 3 marlin and some dolphin. I do believe they had a nice trip :-)

Kyle caught a fish!

Reeling in his very own fish from the pier

There's the fish!!!!!!

While at the pier, Braiden fell in love with this little stuffed animal dolphin. He now has a home in Jacksonville, FL :-)
