Over the 4th of July weekend the kids, Sarah and I went to the outer banks. This was only the second time in the ten years we've lived here that we went to the beach. Both times I've had the same thought: "Why don't we come here more often!?"
Old man Rippy by the sea.
Ainsleigh collecting shells.
Playing in the surf. Rippy was a little too fearless.
Rippy eating sand. I have no explanation for this.
On our way back from the beach each day we went to 7-11 for slurpees. There was a 7-11 at the end of the street where I grew up so slurpees were a regular part of life in upstate NY, but there are no slurpees in the triangle so this was the kids' first slurpee experience.A proud moment in parenting:
After slurpees we went back to our friends' house where we were staying. Rippy spent all his time there looking like this.
Some pictures of the various combinations of the kids, Sarah, and myself.
I'm already counting down the days until beach weekend 2012.

Hey Tracy! I can't believe you've only been to the beach twice- we miss living in NC mainly because we're so far away from the beach!!! :) Looks like you had lots of fun!
I can't believe you guys are moving to London- wow! We totally want to come visit! Good Luck with your move and I hope you guys enjoy it there. What a great experience for your family! And I want to go to the castle school!
