Back from the Outer Banks!

random pics from our amazing trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  I, of course, didn't get as many good pictures as I would have hoped...but here are a whole bunch of what I did get pictures of.  We stayed at a beach house with 5 other families.  It was a blast to be there with so many people, and so many kids! ....It was probably one of my favorite vacations that we've been on.    (Pics are totally out of order)

yes, we felt very cool at this point of the trip....cruising in the express lanes while everyone else in the city was in traffic...it did eventually catch up with us and we still ended up in major traffic...but when I took this, we thought we were the coolest! 
 My boy and me, at the beach after the bonfire  (our last night there)                Yeah dad, thanks for the smore!
