We got home yesterday from a glorious week at Kure Beach. I didn't take many pictures, but we had a fabulous house with two ocean-viewing decks less than two blocks to the ocean. I loved the lower deck; it seems to get more breeze and was the perfect reading spot:
We also had a little den that was perfect for Lego building:
And puzzling:
We played Apples to Apples:
And just generally enjoyed a much-needed quiet week. Brad was only able to join us for the first weekend because work is so crazy, but we took him with us to the aquarium in spirit:
Evan also recreated the frog statue picture for us:
We did manage to do the traditional photo shoots! Issa started with her contemporary costume:
Shannon does an amazing job capturing those dance photos! We tried to take Flat Bradley to the beach, but you can't see him in the sun:
This year we added some cool silhouette pictures, too:
Evan decided he wanted to do some ninja photos this year!
And I'm loving these sibling pictures:
We went for shell walks a few mornings:
And this was out first beach trip with our tent! It was a game changer:
Every day but Thursday (rip tides) the three of us spent a good chunk of time in the ocean:
I went in with them a lot, but it is also really lovely to have big kids who can plan while I sit and enjoy:
Nana came down to cheer from the shore:
The second photo shoot Evan got in his black belt:
And Issa did ballet:
Look at those pointe shoes:
Friday was our last full day, and we made the most of the ocean one more time:
And Evan finally finished his Lego car:
We also got in a few more hands of Spoons and the longest game of Crazy Eights in the history of the world:
A week on the shore was just what I needed, but it's good to be home and back with Brad.
