OBX

Last Sunday we returned from a wonderful week at the Outer Banks with the entire 37 member Dickson family. It was hands down the most relaxing vacation we have ever been on. It was great to visit with family, hang out at the pool and beach and have absolutely nothing to do. Having so much time to do nothing took some getting used to at first, but I guess my delay in posting these pictures proves I'm a pro at laziness now.

My little golfers on the indoor putting green at the house.




By the end of the week Max warmed up to the waves.


Reed loved to be with Bailey.


Climbing up the steps to the top of the Currituck Lighthouse.


Reed was not nearly as nervous as I was being at that height.


Reed spent much of his time running around with Toby and Ben. He was in heaven...


Ready for take off...


Sam and Reed at the Wright Brothers monument.


Wilbur and Reed.


Sam took Reed out on our last morning to see the crabs, but this was as close as Reed was willing to get. It was pretty cool to see them all over the place.


I'm pretty sure most of the kids spent more time in the pool than they did sleeping on this trip.


The good news is that after all that time in the water Reed's swimming improved a ton and he was willing to jump in and swim the width of the pool by the end of our week.

I'm so jealous. I cannot think of a more fun vacation than something like that. And has anyone ever told you Reed looks just like Lexi's little boy Carter? I hadn't noticed it until now, but he looks like him in almost every picture. Cute cute little kids!

So one day, I was thinking "Sam and Lindsay HAVE to have a blog, I just know it". Well, sure enough here you are. Wasn't sure at first, but after scrolling down . . . you guys look exactly the same as I remember you. Took me a while to figure out how many kids you had and which were yours, but the two boys are handsome. Well, I've written enough and hope you visit ours sometime.

How in the world did you get Reed to swim? Brig is terrified of water, and won't even put his mouth in. I would love some advice on that one. . .

It looks like a great trip!

Heys, guys! Ashley finally got around to posting pictures but I loved seeing yours! I have only been to the Emerald Isle area...I have to add OBX to my list of places to go after seeing how gorgeous it is.
