Last night Kara and I returned home from our week long visit to my family out in North Carolina. I have not been out to the Carolina's during the summer in several years now, but I thought it was due time for a beach visit. We had a wonderful time to say the least.... but I didn't expect any different. I was a little nervous traveling by myself with Kara, but daddy had to stay behind due to lack of vacation time on his part. So we took the long trek up to Minnesota and got a straight through flight to Raleigh. The flights went better than expected thanks to a DVD player and a particular whiny annoying cartoon named "Caillou" (Karas FAVORITE).
The week of course, went by extremely fast. There was shopping at the Carolina Outlets (always a hit), a 2 day trip to Carolina Beach (beautiful), a trip to the aquarium, an outdoor concert (the best) to see ColdPlay, and of course, lots of pool time at Nana and Papa's neighborhood pool.
I have WAY too many pictures to post on here, but one particular funny video that will keep me laughing for years to come just has to be shared.
Unfortunatley my memory card reached its capacity right at the best point of the video. What entails is a caption of Kara collecting seashells on the beach while her Nana and Auntie were jumping waves in the ocean. Kara was very nervous the whole time they were out there continuously calling for her Nana to come back in. But.... just as my camera died on me, my mom was taken under by a wave and Kara witnessed the fall.... here is her reaction ...
I SO wish I would have gotten the whole scream along with a shot of my mom down in the water.... but I guess we'll just have to store that scene in our memories!
Needless to say, we had the time of our lives.

OH NO! I hope it didn't scare her too much to see Nana whipe out! She's so cute in her adorable swimsuit! The closest we'll get to a beach is the splash park! Hope your summer ends with a bang! Miss you guys!
