Taylor Beach Week - Outer Banks

We just got home from a week with the Taylor crew at the Outer Banks.

We stopped at a store on the way in to get some fishing bait. 
The water was really calm the first few days and the kids enjoyed boogie boarding. 
The cousins would all line up and ride the waves in. 
Every night they would line up with headlamps and flashlights and head out to go crabbing.

Nintendo Switch was fun for the kids too! 
The kids shared a twin air mattress all week because the bedrooms were small.
