Our first family beach trip!

At the end of this past July we took Emery on her first beach vacation (yes I am SUPER late getting these pictures posted on our blog)!  We went to Kure Beach for an entire week with Kyle's whole family and we had the best time together.  I took so many pictures I'll have to break it up into numerous posts, so here we go!

Kerry & Brad found us a super deal on a house right on the beach, oh man it was so nice and had plenty of room for all of us to spread out inside!  We were able to check in Saturday afternoon and get all groceries unpacked.  Kerry & Brad broke up meals between all the families and it ended up working perfectly for all of us to bring our own groceries and cook meals every couple days for each other.  After getting settled we quickly changed the kiddos into their bathing suits as they were dying to play on the beach!  Look at those three cuties!

We are so blessed to have cousins so close in age on both sides of our families.  It was literally like we had triplets all week, as they had a blast together and are all into the same things! 

The rest of the week was spent enjoying the beautiful weather, good food and family time.  All of our monitors reached at the beach so the adults were able to enjoy some time together while the kiddos napped! Having a huge tent is CRUCIAL, and Emery's cheap umbrella & chair were the perfect set up for her too!

The little babies did so good at the beach too!  Love this one of Em & Bayly:

The kids & all their kiddos-- our family sure is growing!

So fun.  More pictures to come!
