Beach Week: Monday & Tuesday

Monday morning, Pam and Jeremiah arrived. We were excited to see them! William spent the morning pulling up on furniture and playing. Hannah's friend Tyler had been with us Sunday, and left today. We loved having him down. We all headed to Capt'n Franks for lunch, a favorite. Pam's mom joined us so that she could see William. We shopped a little bit for stuff for the cottage then went back. William went down for a nap and Mama watched him while Robbie, Pam, and I enjoyed the pool for a little while. Hannah's friend Savannah stopped by and brought William the CUTEST Polo shirts. They spent the day at the beach. Daddy stopped by to visit for a little while too. William just kept grinning at him. When Scott got off work, he came and we all walked over to the beach for a few minutes. The water was great! We all went to Mako Mike's for dinner that night. Mama's friend Barbara showed up after dinner and we stayed up talking until 2 in the morning. I haven't stayed up that late in ages.

Get up, get up!

Tuesday, the ocean was rough!! I decided there was no way I was getting in that water. We actually kept seeing a Coast Guard airplane and helicopter go over our cottage and a jet ski with a diver on the back slowly going through the water. Our curiosity got the best of us and we all bundled up and walked over to the lifeguard to ask what was going on. A kayak had washed up and they were making sure no one had been in it and in trouble. It was so windy. So, we went back to the pool since the cottage blocked all the wind. We enjoyed that for a little while then Robbie and I ran up to the hot tub for a few minutes to just relax. After that, we needed to get ready since we were having family pictures that night! Amy with Still Frames Photography was coming from Elizabeth City, and since it was so cloudy, she came an hour earlier which was great. Mama hurt her foot really badly and couldn't even walk. We somehow got all the way over to the beach. We got a few family shots, then Barbara took her to Urgent Care. We finished up our family shots, with a lot of help from Hannah to make sure William was smiling. It was sooo cold and windy. When we got finished with pictures, Pam had a wonderful spaghetti dinner waiting for us. William could barely eat his food he was so tired, so an early bedtime was in order for him. I spent the rest of the night stalking Facebook waiting for sneak peeks of our shoot! They were great!! I will be sharing the pics soon!!
