Family time, Beach time

Sunday we enjoyed some family time and a trip to the beach. We started the day just hanging out and talking. Then Grandma N made us a nice breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon. We took advantage of the comfortable morning to eat outside. With full bellies, we packed up the boys and headed to the beach. We went to Fort Macon and, uh-oh, got busted for being in the beach in an area where we weren't supposed to be! Keeping track of the boys in the parking lot, we totally missed the sign that we were in an area that we weren't supposed to swim or wade. And how did we figure that out you ask? Well, the State Ranger paid us a visit on the beach! I felt terrible and we totally just missed the sign. We had fun with our feet in the water and playing in the sand. The beach time definitely wore the boys out! Back to Grandma & Grandpa's for lunch and a little more family time, then we headed home. Thankfully the boys were so wiped that they slept almost the entire way back! It was our most quiet drive ever!! 

We had such a fun weekend and loved seeing everyone!

I wrote both boys names in the sand. Eli liked seeing his name but wouldn't let me take a picture with him. 
Cole was super proud of his name - isn't he just adorable?!
