OBX and a month of Fun

Can I tell you how much fun we have had this last month! Some of you may not know what OBX is- I sure didn't. OUTER BANKS! We were lucky enough to have Connor's ENTIRE family come out for "spring break." They all came at different times and some overlapped depending on their spring break.

Pictures say much more than words-so there are tons of collages to get them all in! This will be long but bear with me:

Joel and Kadi and their two boys came from Washington state. We loved having them all to ourselves. We spent a lot of time outside in the great weather at the park and at Shelly lake and on the trail behind our house. Thanks for coming you guys!!

Then Connor's Sister, Laurel, came with her hubby and four kids from SLC. Dylan had a blast being able to have his older cousins all to himself. Ashlyn loved having a new "Friend." We went to the Science museum in Durham (we could have stayed for a week), and Shelly Lake. It also rained for a whole day- plenty of time to have my brother-in-law, Erik, to fix everything in my house that has EVER needed fixing! Thanks Erik! We then headed out to the Outer Banks. Connor's parents rented out two huge houses. We had a blast playing tennis and going to the beach. We met Connor's parents there (from SLC), his Sister and her family of 5 from Cleveland, and another sister and her two kids from CA there.

There are pictures of one of the houses we had. It was ADORABLE and HUGE. It was called "The Lime to Chill." We stayed in the cute town of Duck. We enjoyed the clubhouse as well (tennis, indoor swimming pool and gym.) I mean, we had it all. Well, we could have used some nicer weather.

We went to Jockey Ridge (the largest sand dunes in the East.) I still have sand in my car! But we loved it! We also got to go to the Wright Brother's Museum. Interesting that they went from OH to NC like us. We have been collecting our licence plates which say "birth place of flight" (OH) and now "first in fight" (NC.) We also went to the Aquarium.

We also got to go the Whale house Club (first woman's hunting club) and the Currituck lighthouse. We also caught an Easter egg hunt and some fun pictures of the kids in a really huge beach chair at some shops and a family Easter picture.

We enjoyed Connor's brother and family of 6 from SLC and another Sister and family of 7 from SLC. Can you imagine what kind of withdrawals Dylan is now going through not having ANY cousins around. Here are some Easter Sunday pictures of the kids. I had to put so many of the girls photos in there because Ashlyn was super funny (photogenic.)

Thank you everyone for making the trek to come visit! We really loved sharing our beautiful NC with y'all!
