Sun.. Sand.. Skimboarding..part one of our trip!

I could eat this kid up.. He was dancing around in the sand..

notice its only the boys holding these little critters.. Evan ( cousin)

This is one of Camdens favorite things to do. jump the waves with dads help.

We went to North Carolina for Eddie and Tara's ( blades' brother) wedding. We had an absolute wonderful vacation. My mom flew in the night before we left, and traveled with us. It was great to have both Grandmas.. twice the spoiling and kisses...I was really worried about the kids and how they would act on the plane. They were angels. I could of kissed them FOREVER!!!! I didnt care what happened the rest of the trip.. cause we got there.. without much drama. we almost missed our connecting flight in Atlanta.. but we made it... We spent the first few days in Elizabeth City where Blades grew up.. We stayed at his parents. We had a funeral for Blades' best friends little boy who was 6. We were so thankful to bet here for them. It was a beautiful service.. We helped Blades' mom get ready for the rehersal dinner food... lots of potato salad and I made texas sheet cakes. As soon as we got to the beach, Camden was in his swimtrunks and ready to jump in. The water was probably 50 degrees, but he didnt mind. He spent the next week plus in the water.. finding sand fleas with daddy ( a hard shelled bug that digs in the sand.. to find them.. you have to wait for the wave to go away and you dig dig dig...NASTY).. jumping waves with daddy.. fishing with daddy.. ( all these activities included getting in the water which mommy wasnt too willing to do.. my feet got in a few times) Case and Mom made sandcastles instead!
