Cape Hatteras, part 1...

Our trip to Cape Hatteras was incredible.  The beach was stunning… such clear water and beautiful sand.

The boys were beyond excited to be at the ocean...

The house had a hot tub and private swimming pool.  We went back and forth between the beach, pool, and hot tub several times a day...

 Peter LOVED the hot tub and wanted to go in constantly.

 …until he remembered there was also a beach!  Then he wanted to head back to jump the waves and find seashells!

It was so nice that Aunt Megan and Uncle T flew in from San Francisco for the week too.  Here she and the boys head out to ride the waves...

Beautiful mama...

Tocco & Megan...

The boys made tons of sand castles and villages and forts and bombed them all once they were set up...

 We went straight from the beach to the pool every day…

 And, you guessed it, back to the beach again...

Our beautiful beach bum...

 T watching the waves from the top porch...

Daddy stealing kisses...

 Happy and water-logged...

Absolutely breathtaking...

 Henry was in heaven the entire week… I truly believe he loved every single minute we were there.

The boys had a blast catching crabs...

 These are tiny ones but at night the BIG ones came out.  Chris bought the boys nets and buckets and we went back out at night (when all the other area kids were out and doing the same.  Super fun for the boys!!)

We all found lots of pretty seashells.  Here Megan is searching...

 Uncle T and Henry...

 Mom walking the beach...

I took so many pictures, I'll wrap it up here for today.  It was an amazing week-- up until Hurricane Arthur ran us out three days early…
