Home part 2 - Topsail

After our time in Wilmington, we headed just an hour up North to Topsail Beach to meet the whole Gainor family.  Gigi and Grandy organized an awesome beach week for all 17.75 of us.  We stayed in a big, beautiful beach house that amazingly really did have enough room for everyone and had a great time together.

Our routine consisted of beach time in the mornings after breakfast...

B headed straight for the water the first day, got knocked down in a wave w/ a big scrape from the sand to show for it... he didn't seem to mind much

He loved having Uncle Gray bury him in the sand

Andy got up early one morning and went fishing. He used all Pop's fishing gear and made Pop proud I'm sure by catching a flounder!

showing off the flounder w/ cousin Jackson

Ben liked to go out in the big waves with daddy

After a busy morning at the beach, the kids all jumped in the pool with some Grandy and Daddy supervision while we got lunch made.

Naps for the little ones after (or during) lunch =)

Ben and Parks are only about 4 months apart and really had fun together - mainly just always wanting to sit beside each other at every meal

quite possibly one of my favorite videos of all time


some snuggle time with daddy in the room we shared (but we didn't all share the bed =))

part 2 coming...
