Day 1 Outer Banks Trip 2015

My wonderful in-laws rented a house in Avon, NC for spring break. They were kind enough to invite us down to spend some time with them! We went from Wednesday to Saturday. It was such a nice relaxing time! We really enjoyed it and I am pretty sure my boys want to live at the beach.

The night before we left I started feeling bad. All three boys and Jeremy had strep with in the last week. I immediately knew what it was and I knew we planned on leaving for the beach at 6 in the morning. BOO! Plans changed and instead I got up early and went to the doctor and picked up my medicine and we were on our way....only 4 hours later than what we were hoping. Plus, it was Jeremy's birthday! WOOHOO!

The trip was a typical trip down with kiddos. Lots of whining (are we there yet?)! We got to the Outer Banks around 4:00 pm but still had an hour and a half before we arrived at the house.

We took the boys to a monster truck show in February and ever since they love monster trucks. We stopped at the Diggers Dungeon to see all the old Grave Diggers.

Original Grave Digger!

The boys loved climbing on the truck!

It was a nice break for the boys to get out and run before finishing the rest of the trip!

We arrived around 6:30 to the beach, we ate a quick dinner and ran down to the beach. It was very cold and damp. The boys found a small crab and Daddy picked it up and let them have a turn holding it. Clayton squealed with delight(?), or maybe fear, as it ran across his hands! 

When we got back to the house we enjoyed a piece of cookie cake for Daddy's birthday!

Not exactly the most exciting birthday, but we were glad to be there and be able to relax.
