Beach Bunnies



Sorry it has been awhile since our last post!   We have been out of town for the past week at the beach.  Anna Cate and I went to Isle of Palms for the first part of last week and then we came home, repacked the car with Will, and headed up to Wrightsville Beach, NC for Father's Day weekend. 

 She was just a busy little bee running all over the beach.  She would hardly pause to play in the sand or glance at a seashell.  She just walked and walked and walked, babbling to herself along the way.  The ocean held her interest until she walked close enough to the waves for the water to tickle her toes.  Then she would scurry back up the beach until she reached dry sand.



The only time she would sit still was to sit in my lap to munch on Cheerios.



We really enjoyed our time in Wrightsville. It is definitely one of our most favorite places to be. Will took Monday off so we could stayan extra day.  I love when we get to spend extra time like that together as a family.  Regular two-day weekends are never long enough.

  Our family friends, the Talberts, have a house on the creek, and have been inviting us up there for the past 15 summers. It was fun to take AC this year and introduce her to all of the traditions!  


Every year, Wrightsville is by far our most lazy and relaxing vacation.  We are on turtle time all weekend long. 

The guys get up early and go fishing.  Meanwhile the ladies sleep late and then wake up to sit in the rocking chairs on the porch in our pj's with a cup of coffee, watching for the guys to come back from fishing.

Yay! They caught 10 blue fish, so its fish and grits for breakfast!!


 Then our lazy day continues...sitting on the porch reading books, going for a boat ride to pick up shrimp for supper, paddling the kayaks down the creek, or just laying in the hammock. 

 
Then each evening, we all sit on
 the porch and enjoy the beautiful sunset.
