So Long Summer

We spent the week of Labor Day down in the OBX with a group of friends - a grand total of 5 couples and 8 kids made for quite fun, albeit not necessarily relaxing, week at the beach. Despite what sounded like feet of rain in the NoVA area, we managed to make it through the week with only a few hours of rain. There was a pretty rough ocean from the hurricane the week prior (red flags 4 out of 7 days) and a lack of dependable beach access until later in the week (the stairs were washed away), we suffered through by spending most mornings poolside, followed by afternoon walks on the beach collecting sea shells. There was also a dip or two in the hot tub, which by far was Audrey's favorite of the three. Brennan still causes us a little panic around the pool, since he'll basically just walk straight in, so most of his time was spent down at the beach or hanging out on the pool stairs. A week filled with bike rides, make your own sundaes, face painting, kite flying and a general overload of activities made for a pretty good send off into fall.
