Fishing on the bay

We rented a pontoon boat from 1:30-5:30 and it was an awesome experience.  The kids were even catching fish left and right.  Aubrey caught 8 fish all by herself.  Reece loved playing with the sand sharks everyone caught.  Raine took a nice long nap and then swam in the bay.  I sat and read my book or enjoyed watching everyone fish. It was a lovely way to spend the day.

Shore Pics

We did family photos on the beach this year and 

these are just a few of the fun pics from our point and shoot camera.

Wordless Wednesday

Fun in the Sun in OBX

We had some sketchy weather while we stayed at Nags Head, Outer Banks but it was still awesome!  I loved being able to walk out the back door and enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the sand.  The ocean current was a bit rough and would often pull Reece across the water.  He had a hard week playing in the sand and water with the cut on his foot.  Reece did enjoy boogie boarding with Cordan but said the water was freezing. 

Happy 4th of July

We had a very relaxing 4th of July with the McDonnell clan.  The boys spent the morning and better part of the afternoon catching fish off a small bridge over the sound.  Reece was taught had to gut and fillet a fish by the queen of the little bridge.  The boys dissected fish for hours.  The girls made their 

holiday t-shirts to wear for the firework show at mile marker 12.  Mo and Sean had a great reunion with their fraternity brother Dan.  It was different from Ocean City 4th of July but still a wonderful day.
