Summer Vacay 2013


Well I packed up everything but the kitchen sink and we heading East to Swansboro for our annual beach vacation at Joe's parents house.  They live on the water in a small town right outside of Emerald Isle.  The smell of the ocean and the breeze is therapeutic. Of course the day we packed up to leave Avery woke up with a snotty nose and acted a little fussy most of the day, so I was crossing my fingers that she wouldn't be sick on vacation and that it was only teething.  Do we EVER really know what's wrong with out young kids?  Allergy, cold, virus, teething, upset stomach??  That is so frustrating and I feel so badly for her because she still can't tell me what hurts.  To make matter worse I kept her awake all day so she'd sleep in the car.  Homegirl was passed out before we even pulled out of the driveway.


Anyway, back to vacay!!

When we got in town Friday night we stayed at Joe's brother's house.  My other brother-in-law and his wife's family were staying at my MILs house for the weekend, so there was no more room at the inn for us.  It was good to spend some time with my youngest nephew, Jamison.  I swear he has doubled in size since I last say him.  He is the cutest little chub chub and so good. Avery of coursed loved holding "her baby" as any 21 month old girl would.  The next day we went to Mimi's house to visit with the whole family.  This is only the 2nd time all three of the kids have been together. So of course we had to snap a gazillion pictures.




Of course hitting the beach was top on my list the first day we were there. This our view as we head down the boat.  Not bad eh?


Avery LOVEed loved the water, eating sand, boats, and sea shells.






Joe's parents still own a lot in the beautiful neighborhood called Cannons Gate, so we went to the pool over there a couple of days that week as well.  She was a little timid in the water, but loved playing on the steps.  We will definitely be needing some swim lessons this winter.




More to come--- my computer is acting crazy, so I needed to publish before I lost it all
