Outer Banks Part Two

The next day, we hit the beach and Kitty Hawk.

Emmett was one happy (and sandy) boy playing in the sand:

Susie chilled out in the shade:

Cam and Emmett tried to fly the kite:

Then we went to hang out at the pool for a bit:

On our way out of town, we went by Kitty Hawk.

Outer Banks Part One

Gigi went on a vacation for a few days, so we had to find some backup sitters. We didn't have anyone for Monday, so we decided to both take the day off and go camping for the weekend. Wouldn't you know that Cam talked me into camping at the Outer Banks. I was able to talk him into a KOA (barely!). We ended up having a fantastic time!

The first night there, we got there late, set up the tent, and then took a little night stroll to the "big water," which is apparently very scary to Emmett.

Emmett had his own "tent" in the tent, and a McQueen sleeping bag. He thought it was pretty awesome!

My two cuties:

Emmett loved the playground at the KOA.

He also loved the big bounce pad:

Susie loved being outside so much:

We went to see the Hatteras lighthouse, which Emmett called "Mommy's Castle"

We also took a ferry to Okracoke Island, and Emmett and Cam both thought that was pretty cool!

We had a Mater sighting!

Mega Road Trip Day 3

We made a stop at the beach this morning to walk around before getting back on the road. We also had to stop in Louisiana at a really neat visitor center (Atchafalaya Basin) and an authentic Cajun restaurant since Cam had never been to Louisiana. After what seemed like forever, we FINALLY got to Grammy and Papa's house!

E thought the raccoon was a "diddy" (kitty)

Yummy food!

Notice that Grammy couldn't wait to get to a certain little boy!
