Adventures in the Outer Banks Part II: Summer at the beach

Welcome to the second installment of photos from our recent trip to Corolla, NC. (See the first installment here.)

Above: Enjoying beach time with Cricket and Nora's cousins (and some baby jelly fish).

Below: My sister-in-law has four kids. They're all independent souls, so it's tough to get a shot of them together. Luckily, they happened to parallel play just long enough for me to capture this one. I love how they're all happily doing their own thing.

Below let: Heading over the dunes to the beach with Dad.

Below right: Cricket digs while Dad fetches her a bucket of water (after she commanded him to do so).

Below: Feeding turtles at the neighborhood pond was a big hit.

Below top: Cricket's new turtle friends.

Below bottom: This sweet little man scored a pair of cowboy boots for his birthday! I love the boot-pajama combo.

P.S. The beach was way too hot for Nora, so she spent most of the vacation in the house. To make up for the lack of photos of her here, she'll be the star of my next post.
