We just returned from Southern Shores, NC in the Outer Banks. Sarah's family goes to the same place every year for a week of fun in the sun. The boys had a great time swimming in the pool and playing in the sand. Evan was terrified of the waves. The first day he would not even go on the beach, but by the end of the week, we had him playing in the sand right by the water.
Ezra enjoyed his first beach vacation and did very well. He napped on the beach everyday so we could spend lots of time in the sand.
Getting all the boys for pose for a pictures was an impossible task, especially since Evan kept running away from the waves.
This is where Ezra napped everyday. It was not terribly hot and there was a nice breeze so he could stay out on the beach a long time. This picture is taken just minutes before a rogue wave crashed on the shore bringing water up all the way to the back of this tent! Thank God, Aunt Alicia was right near by and picked Ezra up almost immediately after he was submerged in the water. Baby's first ocean swim!
Since Evan was so terrified of the waves, John had to slowly expose him. The first day, Evan played behind the tent in the sand, then he progressed up to in front of the tent, but behind the chair. Then we moved the chair even closer to the water and he would play behind the chair near the waves and every once in awhile get his feet wet. John took him for a long walk up on the pier to get him used to everything. By the end of the week he was playing right near the waves and John was even able to get him a bit wet.
Overall it was a fun week with family. We got to spend lots of time with our two new nieces!
