Mini Golf!

 We finished up our awesome vacation with a little mini golf! It's always so much fun to do this with the kids - although they always lose interest around hole 12!

Surfing Lesson

On our last day of vacation, Emmy and Aidan took a surfing lesson together. They had a blast and they both did great - although they were exhausted by the end!! Maybe I'll take one with them next year!!!

Currituck Lighthouse

Today Aoife, my Dad and mom and I took a break from the beach and headed up to the top of the Currituck Lighthouse! It was a windy day but the view was beautiful and a great break from the heat once you got all the way to the top!  So much fun - a definite must when visiting the area!!

Corrolla Beach

 This year we had one week between lacrosse finishing and football starting to go on vacation. We went with my parents to Corrolla Beach in the outer banks of NC. It was gorgeous and so much fun. The house was beautiful and huge - so big that everyone could have had their own bedroom - we couldn't keep Declan and Aoife apart though! The house was a minute walk from the beach and even had it's own pool AND hot tub - everyone was happy about that!
We had a big kitchen and cooked awesome dinners every night, spent tons of time on the beach, went swimming, ate lots of ice cream and just relaxed. It was exactly what we needed!!

Great Country Farms

We took a trip to Great Country Farms today to pick some apples.  The kids swear that they had never been apple picking and I couldn't believe it - another mom fail!!

It was an hour drive into the country but it was so worth it!  The kids had a great time on the wagon ride to the apple orchard and apple picking and an even better time playing on all of the slides, playgrounds, mazes and bouncy things that they have there!  It was seriously so much fun - I would totally go back!
