Today is our last day in the Outer Banks and I am very sad to see this family vacation come to an end. It has been a long time since we all got to spend this much time together and it has been a true blessing. Thanks dad, for an awesome Christmas present that I could never put a price tag on. I'm going to enjoy this day to its fullest, so you will only see a few pictures.
While we were eating breakfast this morning, someone noticed that there were dolphins jumping in the water right outside of our house. My sister managed to snap these pictures. You have to look closely in the picture above to see one, but it's pretty evident in the picture below. They were awesome to see!
We were getting ready to go outside to the ocean. I'm not sure why Hadley was making this face? She's so animated, and I love it!
Miss Hollywood on her way to the beach...
Hadley and I were having a great time playing in the waves until a big one just her height came in for the ultimate splash. I couldn't get her pulled up in time and she got super soaked. After that, she just wanted to play in the sand for a little while. Understood!
Below are pictures of my view from front and side to side. I love vacation, and I love the ocean!
I love watching these two little girls play together! What great lifetime friends they will be, and it warms my heart. They had an awesome time enjoying the sand and toys today!
My traditional writing in the sand...
When we got back from the beach, we got in the pool. Gabe and Juli had arm floaties and Hadley wanted a pair. Daddy drove into town really quick to buy her some. As you can see below, she loved them. She's such a water bug and was swimming on her own in no time! Oh, I almost forgot an important milestone in her swimming...she started blowing successful bubbles yesterday. She dunks her head in the water all the time and blows ON the water, but never actually made bubbles IN the water before. We couldn't be more proud! I tried to get a video of it yesterday, but my camera battery died. Bummer!
Gabe picked some of the wild flowers outside by the boardwalk and brought them into Lex this evening. What a sweet little guy!
After dinner the girls enjoyed bananas for dessert!
...and that's it folks. I'm sad to say that this family vacation has come to an end. We are getting ready to head out for our drive home, but not before one more breathtaking view!
Thanks a bunch OBX!
I hope we meet again.
This is a vacation that I will remember forever!
