Beach house ~ Spring Break Edition

This summer is going to be busy.  So our annual summer beach trip was going to have to be a no go, until we decided to try to head out for Charley and Gabby's spring break.  It worked out great because Aunt Mel and Uncle Dean from Texas were able to come out that same week as well.  Plus Cal and Courtney and Char and Jared were also able to come out!  We missed the Barttlet Bunch and Schrammpa and Schramma of course.  Charley and Gabby missed playing with AV and KD, and we were sad to miss out on meeting little Miss Maybelle.  But we'll have to make a special trip to see them later.  

We started the trip with Dani getting sick.  We tried to keep her from people, but when you are in one house, it is kinda hard.  So a few other people got sick, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  Most of the people who got it, only felt sick, and didn't actually get sick.  It was Charley and Kyler who got it really bad.  And Kyler only had it for a day or two....Charley was sick from Tuesday to Sunday.  But she had pockets of time where she felt better to head out to the beach.  Despite the sickies, it was a really fun trip. 

 Thursday Night we headed over to Wilmington to get some Ice Cream and walk on the Boardwalk.  I think Ben has a picture of Gabby.  But she was trying to put her coat on at the same time she was getting out of the car.....so her arm was stuck in her sleeve when she tripped out of the car and fell with no arms to catch her.  She bonked her head on the curb, and got a huge goose egg above her eye, and ended up with a big black eye.

 We left the beach house Friday afternoon, and spent Saturday in Charlotte with Cal and Courtney.  They watched our girls while Ben and I went on a long run for our marathon.  Then we went to a fun kids library, and a few parks, we even caught the beginning of a bike race that was in downtown Charlotte.

We loved our week in NC, can't wait until we get to go back.....I hope it is sooner rather than later!
