The Beach House in Oak Island

Two weeks ago our friends Bart, Dana & Ethan invited us to their parent’s beach house for a few days.  Dana, Ethan, Parker and I left a day before the guys so we got an extra on the beach.  We only got to stay for the weekend and would have loved to stay longer but Chad had to work, and I had a workshop the following week.  We had such a wonderful time.  Our first day on the beach was beautiful…the rain held off until we got back to the house.  We weren’t as lucky with the weather the second day.  We attempted the beach, but it was sprinkling as walked down and we didn’t last long.  We ended up taking the ferry over to the aquarium, which was a lot of fun.  Not sure if the boys liked the aquarium or the ferry ride more!  We did end up at the beach that evening since the weather eventually cleared up.  Of course Sunday was a perfect beach day but we only got a couple hours to enjoy it since we had to drive home. 

If I cropped the first two pictures together, I’d have a pretty good one!

Parker was like glue to Ethan & Dana’s sides the entire weekend.  Wherever they went, he went too!

Dana, the boys and I checked out Southport our first night there.  It’s a such a cute little town with so much history!

Parker still talks about digging in the sand with Daddy!

This was what was heading our way when we decided to head back to the beach house and go to the aquarium for the day!

Parker wasn’t a fan of the water at first but we forced the issue a little bit and he ended up loving it.
