Outer Banks, NC vacation

We got home from a fabulous beach trip to the Outer Banks with Aunt Samantha! The house we stayed in was really nice and it was just a short walk to the beach. You should have seen us- 3 adults, 2 small kids, and TONS of stuff! Sadie rode to the beach in our wagon and was wedged in with all of our beach stuff!

The girls woke up at regular time, so we took to the beach early for just a quick look!

Eloise's first view of the ocean!

First toes in the sand!

Sadie loved building sand cities, flying the kite, and standing in the surf, letting the waves crash on her legs!

The weather was beautiful, but a little chilly for swimming in the ocean, so we just enjoyed the crashing waves and the gorgeous view!

 We took a little trip to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Sadie and Eloise were too small to climb, so we just walked around. 

 We had some pretty good seafood while we were there!

 Eloise was a great beach baby!

 Eloise wasn't sure about the water!

 Sleeping on the beach is the best! The ocean is a natural white noise maker!

We sure do love Aunt Samantha and we're so glad we were able to have this long weekend with her!!

trip to Tennessee

Happy Easter!

Yesterday Sadie, Brad, Rah Rah, and I went to Alexian Village for an Easter egg hunt. 

I didn't realize that my camera was on manual focus until the egg hunt was almost over. Oh well!

Sadie had a great time!

Today we celebrated our Risen Savior with our families on Signal Mountain!

Sadie found her Easter basket on the front porch of Nana's house and she went through it while everyone was getting ready for church. 

She got buttons for her rainbow Crocs, a hairbrush, Doc McStuffins toothpaste, 2 new books, a football, color drops for the bathtub, and a few little snacks.

We went to church with Nana, Pops, Aunt Brittany, Aunt Beth, and the Akers family at Calvary Baptist Church.

Sadie wore the Easter dress that I wore when I was about a year and a half old! 

In case you can't tell due to the photo quality- I'm on the left and Sadie is on the right.

After church we went to Rah Rah and Papa Dave's house. Sadie thankfully took a great nap before lunch; I knew that would help the rest of the day go more smoothly.

After lunch we went to Nanny's house for an Easter egg hunt.

I think Sadie's pretty much a pro Easter egg hunter now!

 It was a great day!
