Kure Beach 2011 Part A

Mel & Mike drove in with the kids from Missouri and Dad & Sherry flew in from Florida. We all traveled to the ocean--Kure Beach. We arrived on saturday and as soon as we could get the suitcases in the house and change clothes we headed out to the beach to check out the ocean.

The boys headed out hand in hand to face the waves.

I thought I'd just get in a bit with Noli to reassure her...not the best laid plan as my shorts got nice and salty, but such is the beach.



Grandpa made the ocean so much fun for Noli (and all the grandkids).


Noli did not like having the ocean splash in her mouth

Hot Justin and his tramp stamp :)

He had to wear short shirts to make sure everyone saw it

We visited the docked battle ship the USS North Carolina. There were tons of interesting facts, none of which I can recall at this point. The boys were most interested in the guns and Grandpa showed them all how they would have worked.








We worked up a big appetite crawling around that ship so we stopped off at a diner. This was the single serving pancake stack Lukas ordered. There were "oooh" and "ahhhh"s all around.

This was after--he carbo loaded for his nap
