Labor Day Weekend

Whew it was a very fun weekend in Ocean Isle! This weekend it was only our three families that all have houses there so it was kind of quiet but a little rowdy too! We had a great time. It's nice to be with these couples that are fun and good to be around too. I am not saying this right but it's just easy with the 6 of us and the 6 kids. All 6 kids are between the ages 5 and 9 so they're all easier and can do the same stuff mostly. 

ANYWAY!

Friday was the last day with my little buddy. I will miss the concept that I don't have to send him to school if I didn't want to. Now he's in it! We had a last lunch at Chopt. He ordered a Caesar salad with a side of avocado and hard boiled egg! He asked if we could sit outside since it was so pretty out. It was cute! We had fun!


We scooted down to OIB and got there just in time for the concert. 


I even got to see my friend Suz from college and meet her boyfriend!



Saturday morning - Mills and Grady's "D." It was so cute how he set them up like that.  Saturday morning, Hilary, Ariel and I told the boys that they had to keep the kids while we went for a mimosa and shopping at the Surf Shop. We had a nice little morning walking over there to do that together. 


Beach time! Not much wind this week so no Shibumi!




Saturday night we went over to Ariel and Steve's for grouper and shrimp. It was delish! They have the prettiest view!


On Sunday Molly Anne and I ran down to Little River to get a ring she had been talking about for weeks. It's a long story but I'm glad to have gotten that for her. Little things like that mean something to these kiddos as they get older. She knows we don't randomly get her a bunch of gifts like that so this was a big deal to her. 

The rest of the day we hung on the beach! These four loved jumping waves and diving through them. Grady was an animal out there...he jumped a ton of huge waves. 


Sibling love.


This was so cute - Greer asked Grady to play uno. Did you know Uno had laminated cards that can get wet? perfect for swim team!







Cocktail hour with a gin and tonic at home. 


Everyone came to our house for a cookout Sunday night. And fishing. And falling off our dock. And who knows what else! We had a good time though. 


Late night watching a movie with popcorn! These kids live the life!



Monday morning kayaking with my little boy. 



It was hard for us to leave yesterday. It was so pretty down there and just relaxing. When we finally got on the road, this boy fell right asleep the second I told him to put his tablet down and take a nap!


The traffic was worse than we've ever seen it. Took an hour longer than it should have. We ended up going down I-95 and coming back up through South Carolina. Longer mileage but no stop and go traffic! I like to move!



Mills will only ride in the floor-board in front of the kids seats. He's a nut! 

Hope everyone has a good week. I ordered groceries and Target stuff and picked that up last night. I got lunches made, and all fruits/veggies cut and clean. Ready for the grind!
