Sea Kayaking with her Daddy!

We are enjoying a fabulous two week vacation

at Atlantic Beach, NC!

It's not exotic or tropical, but we have been

coming to the Crystal Coast every summer since 1992.

It's comfortable knowing exactly where to get the best

pizza, where all the movie theatres are, which restaurants

have two-for-one specials on what night and what time

the dolphins can be spotted every day!

Otis and Anna Jane had a blast in the surf

--it didn't last too long due to rough waves----and one terrible spill!

Anna Jane was a "tough girl" and didn't let it scare her but Daddy

felt like they would be better off bobbing around in their

lifejackets!

She will always remember the time that her Daddy

took to be with her. The way that he makes her feel

special and the way she feels safe with him.

Sowing seeds for future relationships with men, huh?

Someone will have big shoes to fill some day---

even though he only wears a 10 1/2.

Hmmmm...how puzzling...

While at the beach:

Mr. Yoohoo nearly met with an untimely death after

being discovered lounging atop this puzzle.

What you don't understand is just how OCD my

Aunt Lynne has been about her puzzles.

She has commandeered the dining table at

one end. Thank goodness it seats about 10 or else

we would have been eating picnic style for two weeks!

Breakfast fit for a Princess!

A girl can't eat Special K every day, now can she?

I surprised Anna Jane with a fabulous, fruity stacked

waffle this morning--and even topped it with a bit

of whipped cream!

I guess I really am, "the best Mommy in the whole world!"

I just hope she will remember it when she's

fifteen!
