We Survived (and it was fun)!


We're back with five somewhat filthy, minimally sunburned, slightly bug-bitten, extremely exhausted kiddos. We managed to get all that we needeed either in or on top of the van. The trip was fun and uneventful in a good way. Our day at the beach was a lot less stressful than I was anticipating. With Tropical Storm Gabrielle off the Carolina coast causing rip currents and rough waters, I was worried about keeping track of our 5 kiddos plus the other 2 kiddos of the family we camped with. Once they got the idea of having to stay in front of our umbrella, the day went well. I'm not sure what was most fun for them; the beach, the water park, the playground, playing in the woods, or eathing lots and lots of food that we don't normally eat at home. Here are a few pics while I go and attend to the not-so-fun part of the trip - the cleaning and putting away of everything.
