Sweet beach days

We started the morning at my favorite break spot Dino's!!! Best chocolate chip pancakes!!!

We had a beautiful beach day and had a great time!

A little snack break

Loving the beach

We headed to Calabash for the night and had a great meal at Boundary House

And did a little shopping at the Christmas store!!

Calabash creamery with the cows

Sweet way to end the night! 

Blustery beach day

Tuesday was a beautiful day but it was so windy!!!!

It was 25-30 mph winds and the sand was blowing and was not fun! Kory suggested  we spend some time at the pool!

The kids had a blast and Colin put himself down for a nap!

We ate at Flying Fish for dinner and it was quick and really good!

A rare picture of our team all together

Broadway at the beach did fireworks so we had another fun night!

Colin loves fireworks 

Best beach day

We left Knoxville super early Monday and made it to the beach by lunch time! We got to the beach and had the best day!

Breezy and warm and we had the best day

We stayed out as long as we could

We finally called it a day around 6:15 but it was the best day

We got showered and headed to Boardwalk Billy's! 

Outside with live music it was the best 

A great first day at the beach

Then we headed to Barrfoot Landing for fireworks

Colin loooooooved the fireworks ! Clapped and clapped at every single one! He Looooved it !

First day of summer and the longest day of the year!!! Pretty good start to summer

Best Day with Bill and Ray

Rachel and Bill took Kaitlin on her own special day in Knoxville! First stop McClung musesum!

For Dinosaurs!! Kaitlin loved them!!!  

Knoxville musesum of Art was next 

Kaitlin wants to be an artist when she grows up so she was thrilled to be at a real artist hangout!

My mom loved the art museum and volunteered for many years at the museum! They dedicated a special place in her memory so this was really special for Kaitlin to see

Knoxville's most iconic landmark is the sunsphere or as Kaiitlin and I call it the gold ball! You know you have made it to Knoxville when you see it! So they had fun seeing all of Knoxville high above the sky!

They headed to Tomatoe Head for a break 

Their last stop was the Muse 

They had an amazing day! 

So thankful for Rachel and Bill and the amazing day they had with Kailtin!

Summer fun

Colin had camp this week!!! He had an amazing week! He had so much fun and it wore him out!!! So thankful for a wonderful week for him!
