We're home. Boo. We had so much fun!
We were in the Outer Banks, NC. "Duck, NC" to be specific. It's only a 3 and 1/2 hour drive and rather "affordable" on today's gas prices.
This is the house we rented:
It's the biggest and best we've rented so far. This is the pre-season cheap week, but we were blessed with beautiful weather the whole week.
This is the "crew" that went, my family of 6, plus one (Mason's girlfriend, Lori), my older brother and his family, my mom (of course) and my younger brother.
"Wild" horses on the beach. Isn't that cool? This year they looked really healthy, in years past they've always seemed a bit "thin" to me.
Okay, dark picture, but I wanted to show the "sound" (as opposed to the ocean) which was on the other side of our street.
Evan chillin'. The beach (Atlantic Ocean) is at the end of the street. Super close!`

Mason and Lory's self portrait!
All four of my boys. May I say they look dashing in their hibiscus!
Going out for dinner.
Going our "choppin" (shopping).
They had just woken up from their nap and were ready to go swimmin'. Don't they look like they're still asleep!
Each morning the twins woke up and went "visiting." They loved to hang out in Nonnie's room.
They loved givin' smooches to their "Pan-chee." (Their name for Patsy.)
On our last day of vacation, our dear friends and fellow adoptive parents Jeff and Robin joined us at the pool for some fun!
Princess Mira and one of her 4 brothers, Emerson, peaking out from behind her. I could eat this girl up, she's so cute!! With all of the activity, I did not get near enough snuggle time with her!I have much more to blog about, but it's taking me this long to "recover" from vacation fatigue! Austin and Logan had SO much fun, they never stopped, they never slept - with so many people around and so much water (pool, beach), 4 doggies to love on, etc, etc, etc, - who can blame them!
On our second night home, Logan had his first emergency room visit. He was jumping on the bed and fell off and with his head broke the metal knob off of he side table. Broke the metal knob!! He is now the proud, temporary owner of an emergency room staple in his head. No stitches, just one big staple.
