Ocean Isle Beach-Part 3

While on vacation we intended to have professional pictures taken of the family. Unfortunately the photographer we booked was very sick while we were in town, so I busted out my trusty tripod and diy-ed it! A little bit of amateur editing later and here are our pictures!

Ike's face-showing his crazy personality!

I think they turned out pretty good considering! I was happy to get everybody looking at the camera!


Now back to the rest of our trip. We spent A LOT of time in the ocean due to the extreme heat that was happening while we were there. When the heat index is in the high 90s, you don't have much choice other than to get in! I was super paranoid about rip currents so the kids had to wait patiently for an adult to go in the water with them. So they were happy it was hot and we wanted to get in a bunch! I have only one picture of people in the water-

Gamma was a trooper and went out with them a lot!

Ike getting ready for the beach version of Chopped.

Contestant Dave with his judges.

They had a cook-off and were explaining how they used their "ingredients".

So much Fortnite dancing. Here's a video, they are going to love that this is on the internet when they're older!











Mom and I took the kids to the Museum of Coastal Carolina, which was right on Ocean Isle Beach. It was great and a perfect size for the kids.

Checking out the shark jaws.

This was like a life-size diorama. Pretty cool.

Holding live starfish.

Waiting for the shark talk to start. Very informative and the kids loved it.

We got to see lots of sea turtle nests on our walks.













Whenever we got to the community pool, everyone always left once we were in. Pretty sure that was due to the rambunctious children that came with us! Dave brought his basketball hoop and there was a lot of dunking going on!

Getting his orders from great-grandpa.

Buckets.

Slush on the beach every day! We waited not very patiently for the cart to come by.

I spotted a deer on the beach on our last night.
















One last picture on the morning we left.












We had such a wonderful vacation and I can't thank grandpa enough for putting it all together for us! I'm hoping we can do another one next summer...maybe in a slightly cooler climate!
