Our 1st trip to the Outer Banks

Our friends, the Crowther's, invited us to go to the Outer Banks with them this past weekend. The lady that they rent from has a condo in Kill Devil Hills and was letting them stay the weekend in it for free so they were kind enough to invite us along. It was sooo much fun!!! We had the best time! We went to Kitty Hawk where the Wright Brothers made their first flight, we played on the beaches of Kill Devil Hills and Corolla, we saw wild horses on the beach in Corolla and climbed to the top of the Currituck Lighthouse. The first day was a little chilly, but the kids didn't care, they splashed in the ocean anyways. Our last day was sunny and warm though. I wish we would have had time to stay longer, we were only there for three days. Hopefully, we'll make it back for another trip someday. Thanks Crowther's for inviting us along!!

Currituck Lighthouse in Corolla. It is 158 feet tall and has 214 steps.



As Lize got higher and higher up the stairs she started crawling up them because she was afraid that she would fall between the steps.

Gage has always been a little afraid of heights. He was a good sport and climbed to the top, but preferred not to come out on the walkway. In his defense it was very windy up there.



What an amazing view and such a cute little community down below, right?!

OMG, I love this picture! It totally shows just how windy it was up there. You could lean into the wind and not fall over!
