Nags Head, NC

Last Saturday we packed up and headed to Nags Head, NC for our first family beach vacation. We've been meeting up with the Suter family for the past few years and missed out on the trip last year since Braiden was brand new to this world. We had an absolute blast! Thank you so much Bill and Tammy! Braiden sure is missing his buddies.
Kyle, Hunter, and the little man :-)

Don't they look thrilled to be posing for a picture?

Braiden made friends with every dog that walked on the beach. These jack russell's were by far his favorite :-)

Every year the guys head out on a deep sea fishing boat. This year Kyle went along and loved it. They did well, catching 2 big tuna and a couple mahi.

Hanging out on the beach

Braiden wasn't sure about playing in the sand until the last day on the beach

Not only were we at the beach with the Suter family, but the Johnson family was there was well! We were able to spend a few hours with the on the beach. It was so great seeing everyone. Made me miss home :-)

It doesn't seem like that long ago that the girls were toddlers and I was babysitting them. Now, they're both taller than me!
