We had a little photo shoot on the beach one night. Here a few that came out of that night:

Outing
We took a day off from the beach to hit up the Nags Head/ Kill Devil Hills area. Our plan was to play miniature golf, eat lunch and hike up Jockey's Ridge. However, it was stinkin' hot that day so we barely made it through putt-putt before everyone melted down (literally). Then, we did lunch at Max's Bagel & Deli, followed by Sweet Frog. That helped to cool us down a bit. We never made it to Jockey's Ridge...we'll save that for another trip.

Pool time
Every morning, except one, we headed to the beach for a couple of hours. After we were completely worn out by the sun, we would head back to the house for lunch and nap/rest time. Rest time usually involved a movie for the girls and some shut-eye for the parents. Then, we would hit the pool at our house for an hour or so. Can you see why we're completely exhausted?
The girls are swimming so well. They took lessons for 2 weeks before we left and it made SUCH a difference. Carys had the most dramatic tranformation. She's a little fish (or mermaid, as she likes to refer to herself) now. :-)
Some other fun activities the beach
Here are a few pics of us goofing off around the beach house. There was always a lot of noise from the 4 girls.
