our two trips to the outer banks of north carolina with the other lds families in our program have been the highlight of our two years here. we rented a beautiful 12 bedroom home in kill devil hills this year. we drove in a rainstorm to get to OBX, but the weather turned out to be perfect every other day. the ocean? still frigid.
we ate well—two families teamed up each night to make dinner. nate grilled shish kabobs for our night and janssen made three different kinds of brownies for dessert. win-win. we also happened to be a four minute walk from the famed duck donuts. the donuts are made fresh, then dipped in whatever frosting and toppings you choose.
the boys had a golf day, the girls had an outlet shopping + lunch day, and we saw a few local things too: jockey's ridge sand dunes, the wright brothers memorial in kitty hawk, and the catch of the day at pirate's cove marina.
the best part of each day was putting all the kids to bed and having game night. we played all kinds of games, and a few rounds of greed. this year, the losers had to drink papa john's garlic "butter", jump in the pool fully-clothed, and serenade everyone with a vocal performance.
we'll miss this place!
