Josh's Birthday

I recently found out that from where we live in Wake Forest, it's only about a two hour drive to the nearest beach!!  So, for Josh's birthday, I thought it would be fun to surprise him with a little day trip to Wrightsville Beach.  Even though the weather wasn't cooperating, we headed down to the coast and had a great time!

We ate lunch at this great restaurant on the pier that had the most amazing views of the beach.  The kids were SO excited...Here they are with their hush puppies, which were also quite exciting to them :)

In case you can't tell from the picture, those are the kids names in the sand.

Kate's new suit has a little rhinestone anchor on the side.  She's proud of her bling, and wanted a picture of it.

Nothing like some wide, open space for running!  Kate and Carter are really big into playing chase right now, so this was great fun for them!  Check out the deserted beach...we had the whole beach to ourselves!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!  We had such a good time, even though it was spitting rain the entire time.  A rainy day at the beach is still a day at the beach!!
