Last bit of summer

We took a quick day trip to jockeys ridge today to celebrate the end of summer. 

I love his snaggle tooth. I will be sad when that tooth comes in. 

The boys loved it. Norah didn't at first but then she had fun jumping and rolling down and then insisted on being carried back to the car saying it was too much sand. 

Brent and the kids spent a lot of time jumping off the dunes while I took slow-mo videos of them. So fun! 

I had read on a website that people bring cardboard and slide down the dunes. We have tons of cardboard so we cut up some boxes and brought them all the way up.....and they didn't work..... maybe in the winter when the ground is more frozen. Maybe? So we carried around cardboard with us the whole afternoon. That part wasn't fun. But it did make for a nice shield for Norah when the wind was strong and we were getting pelted with sand. 

We stopped at a putt-putt place on the way out. The kids were troopers and we didn't eat until 8:00pm. Which for my "I'm hungry" every 30 minute kids was amazing. And that's baby powder all over Norah. She loves covering herself after the beach and getting all the sticky sand off. 

Norah slept through dinner and they all fell asleep on the way home.
