Beach Recap

All in all, beach week in Avon, NC was a blast! I think it is safe to say a fun time was had by all! This I can say for sure, Caylin certainly had a great time! From getting her fill of water fun to having a multitude of family members at her disposal to play with every day, this lil bug seemed to enjoy every moment of the trip. Needless to say, we got lots of great pictures and video... Thought we'd share a few with you:

Caylin's first time in the ocean:

Caylin also suckered many into her favorite song/game these days... You may know it as Ring Around the Rosie, she calls it "Pocket full a Toes". Here's some video w/Gma Brown. Apparently there was a specific spot in the beach house that Caylin found most suitable for this game.


Lil bug wasn't the only member of the Brown clan who had a good time. It was a nice break for Carrie to have all of those hands around. Sun, sand, water, and RnR was just what I needed. Plus, I got to play with my cameras, which I love to do! Tim and Lisa (aka An Esa) were able to get a dive in on Wednesday. They got to utilize the Nitrox certifications that they obtained a while back on a two dive trip down to the sunken SS Dixe Arrow Tanker. Though it sounded like things were somewhat turbulent at times (rough waters) it seemed like they both had a good experience overall. Abbie became quite the beach pup... taking every opportunity to get ocean side with who ever was willing to take her. She loved getting her feet and belly wet as well as trying to chase the birds. Even BB2 seemed to enjoy the time... Since we've been back he has been much more active, as if to say, "I want to go back to that relaxing place!"
