Ocean Isle

It's been a busy summer for the Portland Mudges and as a result, I am 4 months behind on blog updates. So behind, that my mom has even stopped asking for new photos - has she really given up?! But alas, we're back, and I will attempt to catch up.

Starting with our amazing vacation to Ocean Isle, N.C. in May with Mom and Lane, the Mackeys, Thompsons and Smiths. It could not have been a more beautiful and fun filled week - the perfect way to celebrate Mom and Lane's 10th anniversary!

Rowan and Daddy at one with the sand...

The wind picked up just about every afternoon - perfect kite flying weather!


Rowan and Harrison loved chasing the surf.


Carter boys (Harrison and Will) with Rowan - Rowan was in complete awe of them both and wanted to do everything they did.


Kindel and the boys...



Boogie board time!


Matt and I drove into Wilmington one day to see more of the Carters - again, Rowan was nothing short of ecstatic to b with Will and Harrison...


Uncle Bryant (a.k.a. Whoa Dude) with one of his biggest fans!

Sarah and Rowan enjoy some of Gran Gran's yummy pancakes...


Matt gears up for another kite flying show for the Mackey kids and Rowan...

Love this picture...our sweet boy.


Bryant and Tracey - nothing better than sipping beers on the beach in the late afternoon!


Wow, we actually have a photo of the 3 of us - very rare!


Gran Gran, Rowan and his beloved excavator toy!


Susan and Ben, one last photo before they had to say goodbye.


The Mudge three...soon to be four in November! :)
