Topsail Island

For the past week we have been vacationing in Surf City, on Topsail Island, North Carolina. This is our fourth time going there.....and we love it. My parents rent a home on the island every other year, and we always travel there in June. My sister and her family, along with my youngest brother always go too!! 7 adults and 4 kids living under one roof makes for an interesting week!!


A rare moment of peace between Hayley and Isabelle!! Apparently, Fun-Dips do the trick!!
Why play in the ocean when there is a pool available?


Cooper's new henna tattoo.....Chinese for "Cool"


Hmmmm.....do you think I will get cought if I go throw sand at Hayley right now??



We had fantastic weather all week, and the ocean was great. While the guys golfed -us girls and the kids hung out at the ocean. We visited the Turtle hospital again, and ate great seafood. (Nothing better than fresh seafood everyday!!) We had a great time and can't wait until June 2010!! We only had two bad incidents - 1. USAir had to be, hands down the WORSE airline ever (trust me when I say this........I have flown a lot of airlines). This was our first and last experience travelling with them - and it was a HUGE disappointment. I should write a post dedicated to USAir. Maybe I will - although, it would have to be "R" rated, because everything I have to say about that sad excuse for an airline has a bad word in it!! 2. We got home last night at 1:30am, and when getting out of the car we spelled a VERY bad odor coming out of the garage. Somehow, the freezer in our garage (loaded with the 1/2 of steer we bought and 1/2 a hog my parents bought) was unplugged, and completely un-thawed and the smell....oh man!! Anyway, it could have been worse right?

Hayley and Isabelle sound a lot like the Tongginator and her cousin M&M. We are heading to the beach with them in a few weeks... I'll be sure to report on any sand throwing. :)

Glad to hear y'all had a good time.

Glad you had a good trip. Sorry about the freezer. (The same thing happened to us while we were in China. We lost a lot of venison.)
