OBX Vacation July 11-18, Day Three

Monday was best friend encounter number two!  I had learned a few weeks earlier that my best WV teaching/grad school friend and her family would be vacationing just an hour north of us in Duck on the exact same days!  So, Jon and I planned a day trip up there with the kids.  He golfed with her hubby while the kids and I hung at their beach house.  It was wonderful to see them and the EIGHT kids played well together.  The only drawback was that we were just about to set off for the Wright Brothers memorial or mini golf or ice cream when the sky opened up in a massive thunderstorm. So, we just stayed in for screen time and some hide-and-seek.  Luckily, the guys were almost done with their golf round before it stormed, although they did get pretty wet!

Ethan took this of Jennifer and me. Love.

Cute hot-tubbers.  Andrew was oblivious.

Hot dog lunch for 8 plus their mamas

When we got back to our house that afternoon, somehow a sand crab had gotten himself stuck in the pool.
He was just sadly crawling across the bottom. After a little fishing, Jon saved him.

A fun, busy day warranted a dip in the hot tub on our side porch.  Just chillin' by the sea, ladies.
