The Waite family goes to the Outer Banks in North Carolina every other year. It is one of the best vacations ever! My parents rent a 6+ bedroom house on the island just a walk away from the beach! Kristin, Drew and I took a red eye flight out late Friday night and landed in Richmond at 10am. My parents picked us up on their way down to the beach! After sleeping the entire 3 hour ride and getting settled into the house Brooke, Zack and the boys showed up and the party began! Sunday morning came bright and early (6am) with the Corbin and Kyler splashing and screaming in the pool in the back yard. This is just about how every morning began in that house. But who cares when you have adorable little nephew's to wake up to every morning. Whether it is the high pitched girly scream from Kyler or the motorcycles and 4 wheelers being rolled on the wood floors and crashing there seemed to never be a quiet moment in the house during daylight hours. The house was pretty nasty with stains on all the carpets, dead bugs squished on all of the walls, bugs stuck in the cobwebs hanging above the beds, oh the list is long. But the weather and beach was perfect almost every single day! Wednesday was a little stormy and the red flag was up (which means no swimming in the ocean) but we still made a day out of it. Here are a few pictures from an amazing week with my family...

Zack, Corbin and Kyler playing in the sand. Poor Kyler could not keep the sand in his eyes
Kyler with a sand beard. I dont know how he did this, but it sure looks like he was eating it
Drew passed out after boogie boarding for about 3 hours straight
Brooke and Kyler after their one of many trips to wash off all the sand
Corbin collecting shells
Zack taking Corbin boogie boarding for the first time
Corbin riding his first wave
I am pretty sure he loved it!
Pretty big belly but Stella had to get some sun too!
The family photo we took the first night (notice how white we are) for Elder Waite.
One of the many friends we had in and around the house! Brings back some memories of Florida!
Vacation's are always amazing, but they always come to an end... unfortunately! Well until next time!
