I'm back... with pictures!

North Carolina Pictures
hey everybody!!!!! I'm finally getting onto our blog again after a long summer and a fun fall. When I saw the snow was falling I knew it was time for one of my quarterly blog entries... but seriously I am trying to better about getting pictures on. So this is our north carolina trip! We went there for Chris' family reunion and had so much fun! I even kept a jar of humidity for a souvenir :) So above is the house we stayed at. It was gorgeous and right on the beach!

We went to this amazing aquarium while we were there. Gabriel watch out for the alligator!!!! ( No, it's not a real one, but this picture still scares me every time I see it)
All the boys looking at the turtles and fish. That's Chris' nephew Aidan and his brother Aaron. We spent the whole time trying to find the turtle and we finally realized he had buried his whole body in the gravel. If you look on the bottom, the turtle's head looks like a rock or a log.

Gabriel loved these turtles because once Chris put him up to the glass they swam right up to him... it was so fun!

This was the view from the house. It was so gorgeous and just a short walk to the beach. I couldn't believe that it could be that green so close to the beach!

Family picture next to the marsh... marshes are the new fall leaves... kind of.

These are some more at the aquarium. That frog statue was made out of sand that had been pressurized together, and then an artist scuplts the sand. How many frogs can you see? Whoever gets it right gets a candybar!!

He loved playing with the pool balls at the beach house.

So that was our North Carolina trip!!! We had so much fun and it was good to see everybody, but I must say my hair really liked getting back to a drier climate :) I'll get some pictures up of camp and halloween for everybody soon!
