North Carolina - Part 1!

We had an amazing 2 week trip to North Carolina in late May/early June this year!  We took so many pictures that I had to break up the trip into two posts!  :)  Nana and Papa got to be there with us the whole time, AND, the first week we were there, Aunt Andrea and Uncle Trevor joined us!  It was their first trip to NC with us, and we all had a blast!
Little man all ready for the beach! (side note: we had to cut the elastic in the netting of his swim trunks as it was cutting into those thighs!)  :)
Kins on our first day at the beach!  Excited to make some sand castles!
Jumping waves with Papa and Uncle Toto!  :)
Kason was chilling in the shade!

Her new favorite activity...crushing sandcastles with her feet!  :)

Aunt Ange!  Umm...I think picking up some sand to throw here...
Yeah, picking up sand to throw!  :)  Need to work on that one!
The next day Kins hit the neighborhood pool for a morning swim!
Splashing Uncle Toto!
Swimming with Papa!
That night we went to Great Grandpa's club for dinner!  We picked him up on our way to the club, and when we got to the parking lot, Kinsley asked Great Grandpa (with no prodding from us) if he would hold her hand!  So cute!!!!!
Great Grandpa with 2 (of 4) great grandkids!  This was his first time meeting Kason (almost 6 months old here!)
Mama and her kiddos
We had an awesome table outside, and had a great meal!
Of course Kinsley finished her meal with some ice cream!  :)
Papa and Kason!
Cashed out after a good night!  :)
Back to the beach again the next day!  Kason caught a few more rays this time!
Kinsley discovered the slushy cart on the beach, and was in heaven!

Sandcastles with Dada and Uncle Toto!
Jumping waves!
She could do this all day!  Good thing there were lots of adults to take turns!  :)

We bought this little tent when Kinsley first came to the beach when she was 9 months old, and it worked out again quite nicely for Kason! 
Kason trying out the water!
Big sis lending moral support!
Back at the house that evening for some movie time with Papa!
And bottle time with Nana!
Back at the neighborhood pool the next day with Aunt Ange!  Do you notice a trend here?  Beach, pool, beach, pool....  :)
Sharky's for lunch!  Mmmmm!
That evening, we headed down to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house for a BBQ and some pool time!  Here is Kins chilling in their pool...Mama and Auntie Kristy's favorite place to be growing up!
Dada and Kins!
A little pool maintenance!

Great Grandma and Kason!

The next morning...some snuggles!
Big sis is HILARIOUS!  :)
That night, all of us hit our favorite restaurant, The Isles for a beautiful dinner outside!
We did a little dancing!
And of course, had our typical photo shoot on the deck!  :)



Kinsley went for a walk on the beach with Nana and Papa after dinner!
LOOOOOVE this pic!!
And this one!  :)
Thanks so much for coming with us, Aunt Ange and Uncle Trevor, and for all of the help with the kiddos!  We had such a great time with you!  Can't wait to meet baby Hill in September!!
