Beach Blast 2007

We spent the week in Nags Head, NC - our annual beach trip with some of our closest friends. We had lots of fun and got to see lots of cool places and do lots of neat stuff. Most of the kids were old enough to enjoy the water. Liam learned many new words, including "ocean", "waves", "pelican", and "seagull". He also learned what seagulls say: "mine..., mine..."

"Water!!"


Liam had lots of fun with his friends. He was shy at first and had a little difficulty with the idea of sharing his toys. But, once he was acclamated to the beach environment, he and the other kids ran the house for the remainder of the week.

Matthew, Ella, and Liam wait patiently for lunch to arrive.

Liam learned a few new words when we visited the Aquarium in Manteo. Here he's getting a close-up view of the "fish" and the "sharks".

Apparently sharks say "Raaarr" much like Lions, Bears, and Alligators.

Elijah had lots of fun at the beach, too! He looks like a football star in the making.

Until next year, here is our parting picture of all the kids.
