Summer Beach Trip 2

J and I were lucky enough to go to the beach TWICE this summer.  Talk about spoiled right!?  As you saw in my previous post, we went with his family down to Corolla, OBX in the beginning of June.  Towards the end of June we were able to go down to Ocean Isle Beach, NC with my family.  Here are some pics of our journey...

Just arrived!  Had to hold my niece E since I hadn't seen her since Christmas.

First day out on the beach

Little kiddos making sand holes and castles.  Any castle we tried to build M loved demolishing :)

On the way to play putt putt.  She's so cute in her bike seat!

My brother being Super Dad :)

M did so well.  He score several holes in one!

When we were finishing up the 18 holes, some crazy storm clouds showed up.

J and I went to Salty's Surf Shop just in time before the storm hit.  My brother and his family (including the little ones) headed back to the house but were hit by the storm half way!!

After the storm, we decided to take a walk down to the beach.

Of course, though, as soon as we got there we noticed this looming cloud sprinting towards us!

This was taken about 3 minutes after the one above.  Notice how fast the storm moved towards us.

On a clearer day, J and I decided to take the waverunners out.

What better to do on the final night than stay up late with S painting sunsets?
