We went to the Outer Banks with the Padilla's for a fun family vacation. We stayed in a house walking distance to the beach. The kids had a blast at the beach everyday! There was a sandbar that Ethan loved to stand on and get hit by the incoming waves. Katie enjoyed that too but she enjoyed boogie boarding even more. We went to the sand dunes and flew kites. Mike's little brother is great at flying kites and passed tips on. Mike caught on quickly but I did not. It was fun to watch! We visited a very large lighthouse. We all took the long hike up the stairs to the top. It was quite the sight! We were very high up. The walk up wasn't too bad besides some tiredness in the legs but the walk down was a little scary in the tight winding stairwell. Katie did not like the walk down at all and being a nervous Mom, I didn't either. Mike and I got up early one morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean. It was beautiful. Another day, we took a ferry to a neighboring island for a bike ride and lunch. We also visited a very kid-friendly museum. They had all sorts of information about the area. Katie & Ethan's favorite part was probably going on the pirate ship. It was a great vacation. We all had a blast!
