Beach 2013!

We just returned from another year's beach trip at Ocean Isle.  This is our second year going to this beach, and we really do enjoy the location!  We stayed at the same huge house as last year which is great for all 16 of us!


Ryan loved the ocean this year--different from a year ago!  He loved to kick the waves, and by the second day was trying to go deeper and deeper into the water!  He also loved the pool equally and with his floats on could manage around the pool by himself!

Cousin, Garrett, playing with Ryan!

Cool dude!

Tyler also enjoyed both the ocean and pool, although he is probably always going to love the pool more!  He is our pool boy!  While he had to wear a removeable waterproof cast during the trip, it didn't phase him one bit!  Aside from a few awkward sunburns, he had a great time!

Surfer boy!

A rare calm moment captured


Of course, every year we go to the beach is the result of my grandmother's generosity.  She pays (and has paid since before I was born) for our entire family to go for a week!



Here is our family!


The boys and I also played putt putt--a first for Ryan!  While slightly challenging, they had fun :)

Each morning, I went for a run/walk.  I made it out five mornings! 

We had a great time!
