Family Picture

Walking with Mooma

Mooma, Poopa and Auntie Susanna came to visit us at the beach for the last couple of days and we had lots of fun. They even brought Caitlyn a pretty flowery bathing suit! Unfortunately with all the excitement we didn't take a lot of pictures, but we did manage to take a few of Caitlyn taking a walk with Mooma on the beach.

Napping on the Beach




Steamer Pot

One of our favorite nights at the beach is 'Steamer Pot' night. Steamer's Shellfish To Go creates the Outer Bank's version of a clambake that you steam right in your own beach house. Ours was chocked full of red potatoes, onions, sweet corn and delicious king and snow crab legs. If you ever find yourselves in Corolla, NC you HAVE to try it, trust us you won't be sorry.



So explain to me again why I don't have any crab on my tray?!

Making Herself at Home

Caitlyn has settled into the beach house very well. She's enjoying checking out all that the house has to offer including the pots and pans.

Trip to the Aquarium

Day 2 of vacation brought rain and cloudy skies so we headed down to the Aquarium in Manteo. We saw lots of different fish, sharks and the best were the playful otters.

Caitlyn had fun playing on the sea turtle statue

Sand

Caitlyn wasn't quite sure what to do with the sand.



Mmm...sand is crunchy

Morning Walk with Daddy

On our first morning, Daddy took Caitlyn for a walk so Mommy could sleep in. They checked out a lake and found a ginormous turtle.




That turtle is bigger than me.

We Made It!








Our vacation is here...finally.
