The big NC beach trip

 So many pics here...not even going to try to put them in some kind of logical order!

 Alice's birthday always falls during beach week. We always celebrate with cake! (yum!)

 2nd cousin Carmie...about 15 months old. What a cutie!

Corban could have eaten the entire watermelon himself!

 Grandma and a bunch of the grandkids at low country boil night on our porch

 The bite you see Jojo taking was the only bite he actually took after insisting on a piece for himself.

Checking out the ocean from the top of the dunes

 Thomas and his girl cousins and 2nd cousins spent much of their time jumping waves in knee to waist deep water.

A sweet pic of big brother and little sister

Cousins playing in the sand--building castles, moats and more--entertainment for hours!

Snuggling with the boys after some swim time

TJ and Jojo chased Jakin and Corban back and forth through the shallow water as they skim boarded. Between that and running around playing soccer, the big boys tired our little boys out pretty much every day!
