OBX

OBX was awesome this year, once we finally got there... All things considered the kids did great on out TEN hour car ride. Once we got there, the house was great, pool was warm, so we took advantage of it...The kids loved the pool and their most favorite part of the house was the sliding glass doors. We only had pinched fingers once.

The ocean was a different story. Brandon did not like it AT ALL and Brooke was more reserved than normal. Eventually they warmed up to it though...thank goodness. I think the first few days Brandon was cranky because he was just TOO hot. It was 100 the first few days and I think it was just too much for him. By the last day, Brandon was running for the water and Brooke was jumping in it too.

After a botched 2nd swimming lesson (haven't blogged yet) we spent a lot of time in the pool with Brooke. After about the first day, she was swimming on her own in her swim vest which was a relief to me and she loved all the attention she got for it too!

Brandon woke up every morning at 6 because our room was so light which wasn't fun but I survived and he did too. Brooke was a great sleeper as usual for us.

We ate well, has tons of fun, all in good company....So glad we have renewed the tradition and can't wait for next year.
