Beaufort....our last adventure in NC

Our last day in NC we took a boat ride to Beaufort. It is about an hour from the house to Beaufort boating in the Neuse River down the Intercoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean. It is super peaceful with lots of pretty scenery to help pass the time. We went last year and Samuel had his big injury (trip to the ER and a huge bummer). This year we were determined to have a safe, fun trip!

beautiful day to be on the water

The kids read and chatted on the way there. Once in Beaufort we boated some in the Atlantic before docking for lunch, touring, and some shopping.

She loved this random statue

so cute....look at the bike names

Us all looking at the same thing at the same time (who knows what) just makes me laugh

After lunch we anchored at the beach so the kids could swim and play. The beach was the site of the great tragedy last year. So, we did not venture down the beach that far. Instead, the kids swam more and played in the nice sand.

It was apparently a very tiring day because this happened on the way back...

Asleep with his head "floating"

It was a super fun day! Thanks Mammy and Pappy!! North Carolina was the best as always!!

Cousin time and more fun pictures from North Carolina

Emma spends as much time as she can with Maya and Hanna. The only time she spent apart from them was when she was at the gym. They are best friends and I hope that never changes.

She was really good at paddle boarding

Elena and Leah are also attached at the hip. They are only four months apart and are basically the same person. They are too cute together even when they are arguing!

Jonah is my little loner. He kind of does his own thing. Sometimes he plays with his cousins, but he was sick for a bunch of our visit. So if he did socialize he was playing with Jack or hanging around in the background.
