Or...What I've Been Up To Lately.
Vacation with the family at Topsail Island
All the kids.
7 - the number of perfection :)
(until Blaine's knee found my spine and we all came tumbling down..)
With a little help from Wilby and Thomas, I flew in and surprised the family for our annual beach trip. After they recovered from the shock, we packed up two cars, at least 20 bags, a car top carrier, cameras, coolers, swimsuits, beach towels, Bocce, Paddle Ball, and all nine family members and hit the road for one last hurrah before Thomas and Meredith headed to Wilmington for their Freshman year (Go Seahawks!), Wilby headed to Grenada for Med School, and the rest of us scattered back to our respective homes. We had a blast digging holes and burying people, playing Paddle Ball Tournaments, Bocce Ball, reading, enjoying the sun, sand, and sea, eating low-country boil and sushi, star-gazing, and taking long walks late at night. Lots of fun pictures (Corn, Rachel? Pyramids, anyone?), hilarious memories ("with my by myself"), and suntans remain from our special family time together. Yay for the beach, for fun, and for FAMILY :)
