Va-cay part 1

Am I getting old? Wait, I’m not sure if I want that answered! But, seriously, I think I’m getting old: my memory is shot, I’m so stinkin worn out at the end of the day, and I am grumpy. Okay, maybe those aren’t signs of “getting old” but there must be an explanation!
I’m not even sure where to begin documenting these past two weeks. It was jam packed with tons of things {at least by my standards} and I took a million {okay, maybe 800} pictures. To say I am a little overwhelmed might be an understatement. But, it was super fun. I think the cousins really enjoyed themselves. And I’m all for a kid-less sister’s cruise in the future! Hint Hint!
Without further ado: A rundown of our first couple of days. Poetic style. Ahem.

Beth and her boys

flew from Idaho

they were all starving

so we ordered from C-Lo

 

We gave them all baths

and kissed them on their heads

and silently prayed

they would all go to bed.

 

Beth saw a waterbug

that gave her a fright

instead of killing it

we ran from the room

and decided it was time to say goodnight.

 

After church on Sunday

we ate a huge feast

of speared fish from the ocean

my oh my, what a tasty treat!

 

We drove to the beach house

in Nags Head, OBX

met up with our other sister

before they head for the West.{California}

 

Just two blocks away

the waves crashed on the sand

were we could play, boogie board,

and work on our tan.

 

Taking turns to cook dinner

we all ate like kings

except for the night Peggy was in charge

mushy crab just isn't my thing!!

 

Cape Hatteras lighthouse

we wanted to visit

you have to be a certain height

if you want to go in it!

 

Peggy watched the babies

as we climbed the steps

248 to the top

with quite a few rests!

 

Stay tuned for some more

of my made up little diddy

I know I've impressed you

since I am so witty

 

Here are some pictures

okay, quite a bit

at least you can see

what fun in 4 days we were able to fit!

{and this is ONLY the beginning! Stay tuned for more!}
