Thanksgiving Craziness

For Thanksgiving this year, we headed to Topsail Beach with my family. We've outgrown my parents house at this point, so every other year, we rent a huge house at the beach and all pile in for a week of togetherness.

The week was full of game-playing, drinking, eating, chatting, pool, hot-tub-sitting, star-gazing, napping, beach-playing, fun, fun, fun.

My favorite part was doing a treasure hunt for the kids -- we buried a box of treasure and set up a bunch of clues on the beach that they had to follow to find the X marking their treasure. A "map" in a washed-up wine bottle helped them see where to go. It was such a blast to see them figure out the hint and go running down the beach for their next checkpoint. I'll definitely tuck that idea away for when Lucas is a bit older.



Lucas couldn't get enough of his cousins, and they couldn't get enough of him. Excited for him to grow up with that crazy gang.


Anyway, a few pics from our week of fun:
