Monday
Low key day after a busy weekend
One on one time and bike ride with my boy!
We played basketball and I won - don't let him fool you!
Ice Cream Sundaes and early bed times to end the night!
Tuesday
Eye Doctor, Hair Appts and Errands - the kids were troopers!
Caleb finally saved up enough money to buy the electric scooter he had been wanting
Ella decided she wanted a Moana birthday party
He was so excited but it had to charge so he couldn't ride it.
Library Fun - signing up for the summer reading program
Ella loves this dinosaur at the library
Wednesday
Scooter was charged and Caleb woke up early to ride
Ella enjoyed playing with Aubree
Getting our Fathers Day presents ready before we left
This girl loves the scooter too but makes me nervous riding
After work we headed to the beach for Raynor family vacation
Watching the wind surfers on the beach
Our house for the week
Couldn't wait to get their toes in the sand
Mammy was happy to have her babies at the beach - Brooklynn was already asleep!
Beautiful sunset
Thursday
Brooklynn hanging with Caleb
The lobster claws he found
Sweet cousins and friends
So glad to be at the beach with this crew
Finding seashells with Mammy
Ella came back with an armful
Enjoying the pool
Relaxing in the sun
The great fisherman who didn't have much luck
Scott caught a few and the kids enjoyed looking at them
Caleb dug them a little hole for their feet. Brooklynn wasn't a big fan of her feet touching anything!
Letting the waves wash over them
Sucking their thumbs - funny thing is Brooklynn only sucks her thumb around Ella
Love these Raynor girls
We came in for lunch and Owen crashed on the floor
Venturing out into the water - it was rough!
Mammy took a turn and got beat up - she took a few falls!
Pulling Owen on the boogie board
Freeze pops on the porch after dinner
Friday
Caleb was glad that he woke up and Aiden was there! He said he needed a big boy to play with.
Riding the waves
Cousins and buddies
Raynor girls - always have the best time with them
Cousins snacking on the beach
Mammy's girls
Having fun - it was nice that everyone had a buddy!
Relaxing and talking by the ocean
Sweet girls collecting shells
Ella and Eli talking to Collin
Ella loved holding him
These boys played their kindle anytime we had down time
Kent made it!
Mammy and Mimi kept the kids so we could all go out - they had their hands full 7 kids 8 and under
Annual Cousin Dinner Night - we ate at Icehouse in Swansboro
Picture by the water front
Taking pictures with the pirate while we waited

Saturday
Mammy bought the kids new boogie boards
Amy made the kids these awesome shirts
Mammy's sweet darlings
Cousins - hope they grow up to be close
One of just the big kids so you can see Aiden's shirt too
Ella requested another picture with Collin
We decided to take the kids to the Aquarium
Caleb and the gator
Touch tank
Trying to make Owen's arm long enough so he could reach
At the shark tank
Caleb the Crab
Ella the Crab
Touch tank was a favorite
Look at all the fish
We watched the dive show
High five with the diver
Waiting for the otter show
With the jellyfish
Family fun!
Scary faces - Collin isn't sure what to think
A huge sandcastle
Cousin picture with Eli sticking his booty out
Then more beach time
More mammy time!
Building a sandcastle
Ella helping Brooklynn
With her seashell pie
Kent and Owen fishing - Dad would be proud!
Cousins divided
Kent and Owen
Kent playing with the kids
They built a big hole and all got in it
Trying to talk Daddy into swimming with her
Boogie boarding is his favorite
And of course she loved it too!
Ella the Mermaid
Family Picture at the beach
Getting ready for dinner - snapping green beans
Family Seafood Night - a yearly tradition
Ice Cream at Ben and Jerrys - another yearly tradition
Owen didn't stay awake for ice cream - he was worn out
Checking out how they had redone the pier
One of Granddaddy's favorite places - we sure missed him this beach trip
Sunday
It was Father's Day and we didn't want to rush home so we stopped in New Bern
The kids loved all the bears around town
Picture by the water front
Ella wanted to take her picture with each one they found
Ella's little legs couldn't hang with all the walking
Tryon Palace visitors center
Playground
Tryon Palace entrance - first governors mansion
Lunch at Cow Cafe
New Bern Academy
First Public School - it wasn't open since it was Sunday
Birthplace of Pepsi
Kids wanted to take a picture by the Mountain Dew sign for Granddaddy - didn't find a Dr Pepper one for Mammy :)
Caleb's Cola - the founder of Pepsi's name was Caleb
Enjoying a cold bottle drink
We decided to do a tour on the Trolley
Loaded up and ready to go
At the back of the trolley
Old Graveyard
Oldest man in New Bern to die at 134 years old
One of the pretty churches in downtown
Back at Cow Café for a sweet treat
Home to celebrate Corey for Fathers Day - Ella made him some stuff at school
With his presents - Ella is sitting in his new camping chair
Corey always working - even on Fathers Day - more green beans needed to be picked and snapped!
Thankful for all the great dads in my life - sure miss Dad, Mike and Papa so much!
My kids are blessed with the best with Corey as their dad.
