Off to North Carolina!

After almost 2 full weeks getting to know our NW family, we crossed the country to meet up with Daddy in North Carolina- staying with some wonderful friends. They took us out on their Redneck Party Yacht one day after work. As we were getting ready to head out, we got to see some Coast Gaurd in action. All of a sudden the parkinglot around the boat ramp was filling up with ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars as well as base security, etc. One of the Small Boats came zooming in a short time later. Sadly, the woman they were rushing in was already gone, and the EMTs had to focus on her husband, who was understandably in shock. We sat on our friends' boat and watched, not because we wanted to but because we DIDN'T want to create any wake or get in the way or in any way make anything more difficult for those scrambling to help.
Heath was the skipper.
Clarissa was cold.
Daddy kept Austin from jumping over the side.
The kids had lots of fun looking at the waves the boat was making.
We tried to go swimming. Brett took each of the boys in, but they had to agree with Clarissa that it was too dang cold in the shade and the wind.

Hey everyone! Thanks for dropping a note on our blog! I'm excited to see what you have to say (and have a little round-about adult interaction!) Please don't put up any personal info- email that directly to me. :) Thanks so much!
