Anyway, we drove down on Saturday and met up with the Schultz's at the beach house. The weather was gorgeous, no rain or cloudy days! The water was warm and the sand was perfect for sandcastles!
Saturday night us girls went out to the beach in the dark with our camping lantern.
We celebrated Nate's 8th birthday on Saturday night after dinner. Happy B-day Nate!

What a FUN TRIP!!!! I am so happy for you that you had such a lovely week. It brings back such fond memories of when we used to vacation in Topsail Island years ago. It is such a wonderful place.
Great pictures. I loved them all but the last one with all the cousins stood out to me. Max looked so serious. Like a reallt scurvy Pirate LOL
I know you all had a ghreat time. What a blessing. I love Topsail too.

OK. So once again I proved my typing is terrible. Sorry. To translate, reallt = really and ghreat = great. Anyway, I guess you all understood.
The sunsets and sunrises at Topsail are spectacular too!!!!!
Wow, these are fabulous pictures! Wasn't it a fun week?! Nice work, Mary Kate. Oh, and tell your mom that she was much smarter than me - she remembered to take a picture of your whole family at the beach. (I love it, by the way!) We got one of the Schultz kids (it's on our blog now) and one of the Schultz parents, but not one of us all together. Silly me!
We love and miss you guys!!
