The Best Vacation of All Time

Well, the beach trip this year was a total success. We had SUCH a fun time, and this was the first vacation in a while that actually felt RELAXING. This is what our beach set up looked like. Jess and Evan brought a cool tent for those who like the shade. SO AMAZING. I love the outer banks. A LOT.


My sister Jess brought her really nice, new camera and we were taking lots of fun pictures. This one was us attempting a silhouette. I think it turned out pretty cool!


Addie is just so fun to throw! She tucks into a little ball, and we can get her so high! :)


Beach Bum, Cheerio fanatic, and sand eater in the making....



The peak of a meteor shower was at midnight on one of the nights, so we all set up our chairs on the beach to watch the show. It was so cool! We must have seen 30 or more shooting stars. Amazing. In the down time, we played with Jess' camera some more. This was using our phones! I'm the U. Of course. It spells DUCK, because that's where our beach house is.


One of the main events of the trip was giving my Dad his retirement gift. All the sisters made him a quilt and a movie to watch about his career and family. The quilt was of our family tree. It's beautiful. This is my Dad shielding his eyes because he was crying. That's the goal! Make him cry! He loves it :)


Then we took family pix in our red/white/blue outfits. I think this was our most successful photo shoot yet! All we used was a tripod! Thank you to my sister Jess, who set these shots up.



There sure are a lot of grandkids on the Hunzeker side!



Becky got stuck taking pix with the folks. We love you becks!




This is our golf cart that we use to get back and forth to the beach. We have so much gear and so many children, it takes a few trips.


Addie in the sand.




She LOVED the water.


Sometimes, when we had enough of the beach, we just hung by the pool. This is the craziness that is our pool. Just loco, but so fun!

That was our trip! Thanks for hanging in for the million photos! :)
