Day 6- Emerald Isle

The ocean was SO much fun today- huge waves and the kids really enjoyed seeing the huge waves and rolling around in them. Unfortunately though, the beach itself wasn't so pleasant. It was so windy that sand was blowing. We thought we'd have a long beach day today, but because of the blowing sand, we cut it short and ended up at the pool for most of the afternoon. My family came in, got ready and took some family pictures before heading back to the same restaurant we went to last night- Riverside. It was just as delicious tonight- I got the exact same thing- She Crab Soup and a portabello mushroom stuffed with crabmeat. They also serve sweet potato muffins that are to die for! So yummy!!!!! I took a hundred pictures today, but here is a small sampling:


The Walker clan: Miles, Jeff, Michele, Mom, Brooks, Dad, Cobe, Sadie, Ryan, me and Brent

The races continued today. I got whooped some more by Cobe and Ryan. Here are Kyle, Chad and Ryan hot-footing it down the beach.

Mom and Dad with their 4 grandkids

3 hot biker chicks- we rented Harleys for the week, so we thought we'd better dress the part as well (haha- not really!)

Sadie LOVES the water and the sand. Really she does. I haven't been able to get her out of it most of the time. But OF COURSE, when it comes time for a picture, a wave knocked into her from the back so she wouldn't stop crying for this family water picture. UGH! Would have been perfect if she would have been smiling or at least looking pleasant! I love this picture!!!!!

Tomorrow is our last day here. We are going to head back to my parents' lake house for a night/day to break up the trip a little. The Michigan crew is leaving tomorrow night to drive the long haul back tomorrow night. All good thing must come to an end sometime, but I wish it weren't so soon! This has been a wonderful vacation where many great memories were made!
