Outer Banks 2011

Well, another summer is coming to a close. On Sunday we returned from a week-long vacation in Corolla, NC with my mom, sisters, brothers-in-law, and cousins. Plus, my aunt and uncle from California joined us, too! Here's a small assortment of pics from the trip.

Here is the whole crew returning from the beach one evening.

I made t-shirts for all the cousins this year with their numbers reflecting their birth-order in terms of the cousins. Here are the three oldest.

And here is the whole crew!

The four "little" girls on the hammock before we took the pictures.

Mary Clare and her cousin Paul spent one afternoon together. She loved being the "big kid" and was a great babysitter! It was the night that Roger and I were in charge of dinner and she occupied Paul while we cooked. Here she is showing him a puzzle on my Nook.

This year, the girls just took off in the pool -- the swim vests are history and Mary Clare was diving all over the bottom of the pool. Here they are relaxing pool-sie for lunch one day.
