Outer Banks Fun & Night Out (Part 5)

 More time with our toes in the sand and the best part is when we can have Josiah there to play with us as well!
Not to old to get buried!
"Don't mind me laddies."
That evening it was my parents turn to cook and they made a feast from the local fish market!
Then Beach and I took the kids to go to mini golf.
It was crazy busy and we had to wait awhile to get going but these had a great attitude.
We are all very novice players...
Sweet girls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day we enjoyed some more beach time!
Someone grabbed my phone!
It looked like a huge storm was rolling in and scared away many of the beach goers.
That afternoon we had a coffee date with mom and sisters!
We did not escape the rain at that point but found a dry place to sit and chat.
That evening was date night out and, as there were not a ton of options, we all ended up at the same place.  However, when we were seated there was a small area that only had two tables, in which they placed the Prentiss and ourselves.  It gave us a good laugh and we felt silly to be so close on a date, so we joined up and made it a double date.
The Russells had gone a bit earlier and had finished their meal, but they took a photo with us before leaving.
The food was great, as was the company!
Then Beach and I took a short walk as it was no longer raining and headed back to the house.
Another special day!

Outer Banks Beach Photos (Part 4)

We, always try to take family beach pictures. While we had a busy day, we were still able to get cleaned up for golden hour. Last year our photo time was very brief, due to a huge storm, but this year was beautiful...just a bit windy.  We are blessed to have Aarron in our family with his amazing skills!
I, also, took some photos with my phone while we were there (they are the photos mixed in below than aren't quite as good quality).
So fun to have Josiah there!
Love our parents!
Look at me I'm goofy!
While she made be moving in the right direction, photos are still not Shiloh's favorite thing!
All the cousins!
And with the Grands!
We even managed to get a whole family shot!
The Ladies...
and men.
The details.
Silliness that needs to be documented.
Something special about these boy cousins!
And the girls!
Thankful that Zoe is into photos now!
Shiloh's turn!
I sure do love my precious children!
This makes me laugh...earlier that day we we had sung, "Who let the dogs out," and Josiah loved to bark along...so that was what was going on for him here and made for a funny photo.
More howling!
We love Grammy!
While we may not have gotten the best photos together, they still make me smile!
As does my man!
We played and took silly photos until the sun went down.  
Then the kids and went Ghost crabbing again, this time with nets and the boys got in the action a bit.
A fun way to end the day!
