During the first week of August we took our annual Berkley family trip to North Carolina. This year we went to Ocean Isle, NC, and it was our (Bynum's) first trip as a family. It started off with a very early fight and Jackson's first plane ride! Jackson was great! He started the trip by reading over the flight safety information.
Once that was taken care of we were off and flying high! Jackson was very good on both of the flights, busily playing and then falling asleep as the planes landed.
Once we arrived at the beach the real fun began! This year our house had a pool as well as being on the beach so there was twice as much to do! We started off with some pool time playing with water toys.
The next day we moved to the beach for some sand discovery,
and then Jackson and Arnold decided to take a swim in the ocean.
They both seemed to enjoy the water but they didn't stay long because the water was rough. We tried the ocean a few more times but Jackson wasn't a big fan, more because of the lifejacket than anything else.
Oh the many emotions lifejackets bring forth!
We decided to celebrate all of the kid's birthday's, and thanks to granddad, Jackson was prepared for the fun!
Many of the bigger kids went crab hunting one night which brought Haylie back with a dead baby shark, and Cash with a few crabs. Very exciting!
There were many more days of fun in the sun with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents!
(Unfortunately, I did not get many pictures of anyone but Jackson. I didn't realize this until we were home. I need to work on that for next year!)
Overall, we had a great trip at the beach and loved spending so much time with all of our family!
We spent our plane rides home dreaming about next year's beach trip!
