One of the fun things about the Outer Banks is the lighthouses.<\/p>\n

You have to wait in line to get in, but the line goes quick and fortunately the day we went it wasn’t super hot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The history is fun to read, even the kiddos got into it.<\/p>\n

This picture below cracks me up- Cole….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The care-takers house was so cool, one of them was turned into a little store. The older girls bought books about ghosts on the Outer Banks<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was about the only time I pulled out my big camera. The whole area smelled so good- like Pine. There were ginormous Rosemary bushes everywhere that smelled great too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As we climbed to the top I felt my knees starting to wobble- it’s high.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the view is gorgeous<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the breeze feels so good<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have I mentioned that I am happy to be home? I feel like I have been gone all summer. Yesterday morning we got Austin off to camp. I miss him already and his phone died right before he left- he dropped it into the water while fishing at the beach.<\/p>\n

Blake is at a sleepover and Cole has a friend sleeping over so I am down a kid, down another kid, and up a kid.<\/p>\n

I am trying really hard not to think about school starting in a month. Boo. I love summer.<\/p>\n

Blake is missing from the family pic below- he didn’t go to the lighthouse with us.<\/p>\n
