Outer Banks, NC - Part II

Outer Banks, NC
November 2009

The beach-front house in Avon (southern part of the Outer Banks) we stayed in with two other families -- 6 adults; 8 kids (all six years old or younger). A little chaos is good.

Picture of the beach and the pier from the upper deck of the house. The weather was great for this time of year (sunny, but cool).

Andrew, Gracie, and Katie loved the beach. They made sand castles and collected LOTS of shells. Katie mostly just ate sand.

One of the many lighthouses along the coast.

One of the harbors where the chartered fishing boats would arrive after a long day of fishing to unload their cargo (a lot of tuna).

During out trip to the Outer Banks we stopped at the Grave Digger monster truck exhibit, which Andrew LOVED!

Eight kids -- all six years old or younger! They had a BLAST playing with each other. They all played so hard that none of them had trouble falling asleep at nap time or bed time.

The kids loved the indoor spa and the outside hot tub.

This was one of the families we went with -- our friends, the Strattons.

At Studio 12, the kids got to work with pottery -- they loved painting them and drawing designs on them. Once they were "cooked" they always had to have their "special" dish and cup at dinner time.
