Outer Banks

The Bradshaw family went on an adventure to the lovely Outer Banks, NC. We joined 4 other families and stayed in an awesome beach house. We played tons of games and ate some delicious seafood. Drew's favorite part was the sandy beach. He couldn't get enough of it. He was at first very meticulous and studying it. He's our little scientist :)

 It was in the high 50's most of the trip, but that didn't stop Josh and I from going for a dip. The ocean was freezing water! But we were able to stay out and dive under the waves for about 10 min. We love the ocean. Our friends thought we were crazy, but the next day most of the guys joined us.

We went to see some of the sights, since it was off season almost everything was closed. It was a ghost town! We did go to the light house, but it was closed too! so we just admired it from the outside. That's the best part anyways right?

We enjoyed family strolls on the beach early in the morning. Especially right after high tide, we found tons of stuff, huge clams still alive, crabs, sea slugs, coral, and seashells! Drew enjoyed it too, he joined in on the singing while we strolled.  Even though it was cold most of the trip it was a gorgeous seaside and a very relaxing trip.

One of the highlights of the trip was all the beautiful seashells we found. I took them home for decor. I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. Any ideas?
