Every summer we spend a week at the beach. The particular beach varies from year to year. The family we spend the week with bounces back and forth every year. This year it was at the Outer Banks in Corolla with Liz's parents.
Joost made sure we acquired him a boogie board before the trip began. He rode some great waves and didn't even mind the sand burn that came with a few tumbles.

In the Outer Banks, it's mandatory that you eat pulled pork at least once. We did it twice.
We had a few sunny days and a few rainy days.
Kate is surprisingly content in this picture. She was not the biggest fan of the sand, the sweat, the salt and the sun. (I didn't try to use only 's' words in that sentence.)
She did enjoy the water, however.
Her father enjoys the water, too. Although he owns his own kayak and uses it whole heartedly on the Susquehanna, we did not have enough packing room in or on the van (go figure) so he and my dad rented kayaks in Corolla. Jeff was on the water at least once a day.
Gracie was a big help in pulling the kayak in from the ocean for Jeff.
We also climbed the Corolla light house. When you give birth to a child, do you also give birth to a horrible fear of heights for your children? There were a lot of bad feelings in the pit of my stomach as we climbed the 214 steps of the lighthouse. Once up top, however, it was a great view.
It was a great week of relaxation and family time.
