Outer Banks Adventures...

Lest you think the kids were having a mediocre summer....a trip to the Outer Banks was next on the calendar.

Amy and I drove with our four kids (my two, and her two boys, John and Grant) south to North Carolina for fun in the sun with our friend Liz and her three girls, Lila, Alexis and Riley.

Three moms, seven kids: what could go wrong?

Beach days are the best days. The bigger kids love to boogie board.
They were all officially "beach tired" at the end of the day. Mom score.

We took a break from the beach and took the kids to play on the dunes at Jockey's Ridge.

Nags Head Hammocks are always fun.

It was a beautiful day for hunting pirates and treasure in Manteo.

 But then, it was back to business as usual: The beach.

A visit to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was a fun (hot) activity.

Beach pictures....

Beach bonfire...

But above all, it was about the beach. Great week with great friends....
