Every year the Wolfe crew looks forward to our beach vacation down in the Outer banks and this year was no exception! Man did we have a blast! The first week was spent with our long time
family friends, the Masoners. This was such a special week for us as we use
to vacation in OBX with them for as long as I can remember. We took a small break due to college,
kids, etc., but now we are back at it again! It was amazing to see how our families have grown and how the “kids”
now have kids of their own! There were 14 adults and 8 children (all 2 years and
under!). The Masoners rented the house next to ours which made for our night time get togethers much easier. Every night we came together for a huge smorgasbord for dinner down at the pool. Pool
you say?! That’s right our parents also surprised us with a beautiful pool! We
beached it, pooled it, watched Fourth of July fireworks from the top deck, and
of course had our usual hilarious conversations over adult beverages at night! The
kids had a blast with one another and we can’t wait to do it again! It’s amazing
how no matter how much distance and time separates our two families we always
pick up right where we left off. What a special and unique bond our families have and I already see that bond forming with the
next generation!
(I didn't take too many pics seeing that my sister is an amazing photographer and I usually just steal her pictures anyway. If you want to see some awesome pics of the week please visit her site at www.shorttstories.com).

But wait it doesn't end there! We
were all set to head home after a week at the beach when my parents came up
with the genius idea of having us (me and my girls and Kris and her kiddos) stay on another week for what we call our family
week. My PopPop, GG, Uncle Vince, Ellen, Tyler, Sammy, Michael, Monica, and
Maddie all came down to join in on the fun! It was such an amazing time
together as the kids really got to know their great-grandparents, uncle, aunt, and
cousins. Speaking of cousins, they had a BLAST with them. The boys were so
adorable with the kids and the kids ate it up! We went for nightly walks after
dinner, ventured down to the ice cream shop a few times, and of course had our
fun at the beach and pool! We feel so blessed to have had that time with our
family and memories were certainly made that week!
