Grayson Highlands
We’ve returned from our Labor Day (Weekend) trip to Virginia, and once again I’ve taken far more pictures of wildlife than my family. The “wild” ponies were exciting for the kids, and we loved our hike in Grayson Highlands. I did get plenty of cute shots of the boys, but I’ll save those for the family. The first day we hiked, it was foggy and chilly, but two days later it was hot and clear. The ponies had moved from…

North Topsail Island
Does anyone else travel to a destination and take more photos of the wildlife than their kids? Today we took a day trip to North Topsail and caught a few hours of play time before the rain came.

I consider the trip a success because no one got burned, no one had to do or wipe a number two in the woods (other than a diaper change), and it didn’t rain. There were likely many other aspects to rejoice in, but…

Beach Pics for Friday
We are wrapping up our final day at the Outer Banks. I’m slap wore out from boogie boarding and carrying around a baby everywhere I go. It’s fun fun, and now I’m ready to get back home. I’ve loved all the colors and textures at the beach from the birds and weathered wood, to the native plants, to the fishing buoys hanging on the house next door.
