The Bakewell Beach Trip continues to be one of our family's favorite weeks of the year. With the yummy food, the fun entertainment and the time with family members, it is hard to beat! We have found a routine over the years with specific nights going out to dinner and nights that we cook and eat at our beach house. Here are some pictures from our week!
Check out the comparison pictures all the way back to 2013!
We actually came in on Saturday at lunchtime before the Kennedys and Bakewells arrived. We grabbed lunch at Ocean Isle Fish Company. Both boys were excited to try shrimp, scallops and fish on this trip. Maddox dove right in at the first meal by ordering shrimp for lunch!
The boys were able to get in the water before dinner on Saturday night (testing out the pool and beach). After our pizza dinner, the moms went to grab all the groceries while the kids relaxed until bedtime.
Sunday was a beach day prior to our dinner at Inlet View Restaurant. We fit in a swim at the pool most days as well. We love having a pool at our beach rental.
On Monday, we went to play miniature golf with Grandpa. We are loving this yearly tradition and this year Mommy beat all the boys! :) You will see the scorecard included for proof. I kept saying I'm outnumbered but I'm not outmatched! ;) (I may not be including the other two scorecards since I didn't win those rounds ;)). Putt-putt was a great activity for our crew on two different days on this trip because both boys developed a rash from the ocean that kept getting worse when exposed to water (i.e. the beach and the pool). We have no idea what was causing the rash but we tried to balance out the amount of time in and out of the water throughout the whole week. We also used pain meds and allergy medicine to make the symptoms more bearable.
In another attempt to stay out of the water, we took a walk from our house to the pier on Tuesday. We enjoyed playing arcade games and grabbing a sweet treat!
On Wednesday, we went to dinner at Dockside. I told Grandpa I was going to include this picture since it was humorous that he climbed on top of a moving staircase for this view. We are thankful we didn't lose him over the side and have to videotape it for America's Funniest Videos. ;)
Also, we had our annual Sunset Slushies beachside thanks to Grammy and Grandpa. The kids fed the birds with Daddy/Uncle Zack and Grammy took the kids on their annual nature walk on Thursday while the parents went for running dates. ;)
A new addition this year was two sets of bunk beds in the loft. The boys tried them out for a few nights of the trip, and they might have a new "bedroom" assignment going forward! ;)
A few more comparison pictures.....
We had to come home unexpectedly a day early (which will be in my next post), but I think these boys had a wonderful week. They are worn out from all the fun they had!
Until next year.... bye bye beach!
