Looks like a lot of fun. It also looks like you had lovely weather. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures of you all having fun! My mom was 87 on July 24 - only a little older than your mom. How wonderful that she is able to go along and have a good time.

I went to the Outerbanks this summer for vacation, too! I haven't blogged about it, yet. I didn't hear about Funtastic Fabrics. Where was it located?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you and your family had a great time. There's nothing like a beach vacation.
