Well I am all out of order with my pics so I thought I would just randomly start posting. I had decided to take the first couple of weeks of summer off. To let the kids settle in, no camps, no extra activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next thing I know we are weeks into all day all electronics. Which is not how I wanted our summer to go. Cole had a week at camp but besides that we were not getting out of our screen rut.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So those that know me well know what that means. Time to throw the kids in the car and get outta town.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Off to Bald Head Island<\/a> we went.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had the best time even though it rained on and off for the first couple of days<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We watched Shark Week<\/a> and probably shouldn’t have as it freaked Eva out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But she got over it and we had the best time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This particular day in the water was my fave<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are headed back in a few weeks and I can’t wait!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This time Hudson is going with us<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We bought him a life jacket just so he can swim in the ocean and we won’t have to worry so much.<\/p>\n

Trips away with my kiddos are the best. I am so glad that I always embraced experiences over things. This time with my family are best memories.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And now Summer is half over. So hard to believe.<\/p>\n

I am trying to enjoy every moment. My last one before my first born goes to college.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hope you guys are having a great summer- it’s such a short wonderful time of year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
