Sun, Sand, Hot Pool, Family and Fun

We spent Spring Break with our extended family in North Carolina and couldn't have had more fun - despite the crazy cold temperatures!  We were blessed to have Nama Denise join us since she was in between chemo and her stem cell transplant.  All the grandkids loved hanging out with Nama and thankfully everyone stayed healthy.  My boys loved the "Pink" house we stayed in and hanging with all their cousins.  It was great to see our North Carolina relatives too!  Unfortunately we didn't have crazy warm weather but we did have a hot tub (or hot pool as Thomas called it!) that the kids loved swimming in (notice many times the adults are bundled up while the kids swam!).  It was a great week and our kids did fairly well on the car trip...so well we will brave more family trips (hopefully, Jennifer will learn to like TV so she can be a little more agreeable).

The last night we ran into the freezing cold ocean!

Thomas and Brayden were very brave!

Big waves and VERY cold water!

Thomas was a crazy man running from the waves.

Cold!!

Even Jennifer wanted in on the cold action!
