was asked to include the rest, so here is another sampling from our trip to north carolina.

this is at the top of the stairs looking back at the gigantic house...

 the kids played at the bottom of the stairs a LOT.

 oh goodness to gracious, i love leg warmers.

 the beans relished standing against the wind & yelling into it like their parents taught them.

 but it was chillay!

& so windy ellery held on to the fencing and looked like she was in a twister, struggling with each step
& holding on for dear life. hilarious.

cocobean preferred a little more protection but just sat on the adirondacks out here grinning at the gusts of wind & the waves.

 but it was a blast!

every detail of the house was so charming & beach themed & comfy & almost vintage. carolyn did an infallible job.

cossette was so cute how she used this step stool as a little desk. she wanted to hang out in there whenever we were indoors.

we enjoyed eating on the deck

 & walked along the beach for a bit with daddy boy

 & hunting for some seashells

& play goofy games.

 the sisters told stories on the porch swing,

 & we spent time watching the sparkly waves

& looking for pear cacti & succulents.

 even though the view was really fantastic from the living room

 we still wanted to spend time outside.

to swing on the hammock,

 or just sit together,

 or to teach valuable life skills...

 yea! like a boss! haha

 terrific little get away.
