I'm finally adding Outer Banks pictures! We had an awesome time at the beach - good weather, good food, and great times with family. There was no way to get bored; we had our own pool, plus a community pool, and a short walk to the beach, not to mention 24 people in one house with 11 of them being kids! Liam did remind us all week that he does not prefer crowds, but he had a lot of fun, and began warming up more and more each day. I'm hoping next year he will be a little more at ease.
Here's our big, awesome house:Walking the path to the beach.

Sweet Austin with his buddy, Liam. He (and the others) took such good care of Liam. They always wanted him to be nearby, and they were so helpful in keeping him entertained!

This picture is so priceless. Grumpy Liam and ever-smiling Blake!

Having fun sliding with Kayla at the park in the neighborhood.

Uncle Kyle helping Liam out.

Splashing in the pool.

My helpers. Alayna and Kayla were happy to be mommies for the week. As the picture suggests, Ash is only half interested.

Bo with Jack, Alex, Ashley, and Emma.

Yes, these are all members of our family! (And not everyone is in the picture!).

Eating sand and being silly with Kayla.

Jumping in the pool!

The Bucklen women.

Liam and his entourage., Kayla and Emma. These girls were glued to him from the second they made their grand entrance every morning from the elevator (yes, we had an elevator!)

This is how Liam likes to ride. Pacifier in his mouth, blanket draped over his head. He was PERFECT on the 9+hour ride both ways! It made it so much easier to have a content toddler!
