Mini-Vacation

Where have we been? We took a mini-vacation and met up with some of our friends at Camp Hatteras. It is not the primitive hard core camping by any means. The camp has a playground, mini putt putt, 2 pools, hot tub, pond, and beach access. We didn't get to go last year so I was a little worried how Mattie would do now that she is walking and into everything. I just imagined me running all over trying to catch her as she weaved between campers. So I invested in a play yard. Can we say wonderful?!! I love this thing. We use it everywhere. She isn't locked up in it all the time, although she was quite content. She kept herself busy.

She was waiting to catch the beach ball

Eating her cheese puffs all sprawled out.

Mattie loves books! This one is her favorite~she spent a good thirty minutes looking at it. I've got some other cute pics of her in various positions while reading.

We headed down to Kitty Hawk Kites on our way out. They had a really neat sand sculpture. And yes, this is all real sand. It was huge! I just posted a portion of it.

It's only a couple hour drive so we are headed back for a whole week this time. Hoping to get on the beach. I really didn't feel like taking Mattie since it was so windy. They have beach accesses where you can drive your truck on to the beach so I'm sure we'll be doing that some days. Then we plan on visiting the lighthouses and other landmarks that our kids haven't been to yet.
