Outer Banks 2011

We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the beach with our friends, the Scotts. This is our third time renting a house in Duck, North Carolina. We love Duck. There is a small town feel with lots of small shops and restaurants within walking distance and the community we stayed in had lots of great amenities. The beach was still a little cold and windy, so we actually did not spend as much time there as we thought, but we made up for it in our backyard pool! The kids got along great (the girls even shared a room!) Overall, it was wonderful way to spend our vacation!


We started off our first day with a favorite treat; Duck Doughnuts!

This was Ian's first Duck Doughnut

Can we say jet lag???? Not even a doughnut could get a mile out

Ian had a great time getting to know Will

Emma practiced her skills in the pool

Ian practiced jumping

Emma and Sydney had a great time in the pool together

Fun in the hammocks

Silly faces

More silly faces. The house had 3 hammocks which were great fun!

Happy boy!

Dan and Billy (That is the instructor with Dan) got to have some fun too....

Hang gliding!

Smores by the pool

Daddy enjoyed them too

We even got to go out on a few date nights, thanks to our wonderful Mother's helper, Meg!

Emma learned to be a pirate (More of that in another post)
