Nags Head 2010

June 20, 2010

 

The family vacation started somewhat ominously.  I got a call at home from Linda telling me Lisa’s van got into a four-car accident.  Thankfully, nobody was hurt, although her van was pretty damaged.


Between Stephen and me, we were able to transfer all their luggage and passengers and bring them down to the beach house.








As always, the kids had tons of energy the first night.  Patrick and Michael stayed up until around 11 p.m. playing pool.  Sunday morning after church, they all hit the beach.  Patrick and Michael skim boarded a bunch before taking the plunge.  Here’s a video.



Mom and Dad doing some relaxing.


Of course, LCR was played a few times . . .


Laura won a $33 pot.


Laura bought a cake to celebrate Fathers’ Day.


After dinner on Sunday, as usual, the kids were assigned chores to clean up.  Matthew wrote a formal petition of protest.  He only got himself and Edward to sign it, though.




Gabriella broke her ankle a couple of weeks ago, so she isn’t able to go into the water.


Caroline vacuuming.  She didn’t want her picture taken.


Linda playing beer pong.


After dinner on Tuesday, we took the kids to the dunes at Jockey’s Ridge State Park.




Edward climbing up the big dune.


Patrick, exhausted.


The kids tried to drag Christopher down the hill.


Kathi made it down for Tuesday night through Wednesday.  We all went out for the traditional dinner at Tale of the Whale restaurant.





Matthew finished a huge plate of ribs.


Kathi headed back home after dinner because she had to work on Thursday.
