Outer Banks 2007

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Outer Banks (Southern Shores) with my family last week. This year was a little different than last year with the addition of 3 babies! Jeremy and Nancy came with their 4 kids (baby Bradford only 10 days old!!), Kristen and Shepard came with their 2 month old son, Hayden, and we had Kathryn. My sister Margaret and her husband Josh, my brother Stephen and his friend Emily, my parents, and Gram (my mom's mom) added to the crew and we were 19 in all! Amazing. We stayed in a huge house that was pretty awesome, including a private pool and home movie theater (several hours of Lord of the Rings were enjoyed by various family members....(Nick). Here are some pictures.





We enjoyed some time on the beach as well as the pool. Kathryn loved being outside, loved the pool, did not love the ocean (well, the water WAS 50 degrees!) But she did manage at least one nap on the beach.


Tummy time with the three amigos. Kathryn made her little cousins seem quite small! :)


Baby Bradford had his first swim at 2 weeks old! (first day his umbilical thing fell off). I don't think he was a huge fan.


I think Hayden looks a little concerned in this picture....


"It's okay, Hayden, don't be scared of me. Good boy."


We went mini golfing one night, and Meredith (age 3) was so much fun to watch. This was her typical pose. And then she would run up, put the ball half an inch from the hole and hit it in. I think she was quite pleased with herself!


Hayden, 2 months; Kathryn, 5 months; Bradford, 2 weeks.


Attempt #1 at a cousins shot....as you can see, not so successfully. let's try that again....


Well, we sort of got it. Meredith (3), Kathryn, Alison (5 1/2), Bradford, Bethany (7), Hayden.
