Easter Break - Part 2

So, the Smith's left Tuesday morning and that night Tim's parents came to visit for the week. We went over to the Outer Banks and stayed a few days. It was so much fun. We stayed at a really nice house that had a fun game room, a pool, and we found some bikes to ride including a "bicycle built for two." We went over and did some touristy stuff (like the Wright Brothers Museum), flew kites, ran and played on the beach (it was too cold to actually go in), swam in the pool, and ate at some great places. We had a fabulous time and wore ourselves out. It was beautiful there. It's so different from the Pacific Ocean. I can't wait to go back again. Thanks so much Abuela and Grumps. We so enjoyed spending the week with you and can't wait to get together again. Here are some pics of our fun trip.

GAME ROOM:

I love this little Maya.

(She said she was making dinner - oatmeal)

So far, I haven't found a single picture with Abuela. Hope I find some soon.

How did she manage to stay off the camera radar?

McKenna taking a breather after all this fun.

I can't remember the place we went and spent the day. (Lynn, if you remember will you please put it in my comments.). Somewhere in the Outerbanks. The girls did an Easter Egg hunt, we got to go on a replica of an old ship and see some old Indian Native American stuff. The girls really like all that stuff. Then we ate at a yummy restaraunt. I think the service was better than the food. You know, that Southern hopsitality - I can't get enough of it.

Here's a little video of the girls impromptu "rain dance".

Beware:  I don't think this is politically correct.

Egg Hunt!

The Ship

Alexa really wanted to eat here since she thinks it's named after her.

The Ladies!

?

The whole gang waiting for our grub!

The girls "playing in the waves". It was still pretty cool that week.

Although, I think they would have gone in if we let them.

On our way out of town we stopped for breakfast at a GREAT place called

Pancakes and Such. The Pancakes were huge and the Such was excellent.

Here's Maya after eating her choc. chip pancakes. The whole plate was

covered in pancakes and choc. chips. Notice the left over chocolate. WAY

too much for me.

McKenna - not having such a great time at Breakfast.

Here they are, Abuela and Grumps. Can you believe we had to wait til the last day

to get a picture of them together. What is amazing is that they are smiling after spending

the week with our little circus.

I put this picture in originally because it was of Alexa and myself, but

after looking at it, I love Livie in the background. She must have gotten a

little tired after all those choc. chips.

Thanks Abuela and Grumps for a fun week. We all so enjoyed ourselves and will have many memories of our fun time in the Outer Banks.
