OBX 2019 Edition... Part III...

While it certainly wasn't easy to try and enjoy what remained of our beach week we did our best and found some happiness through all the tears. Not the vacation we had imagined but I think it helped that we were all together and in a favorite spot - the sea air helped to begin to heal our wounds. 

Sadie became our focus and we got her to the beach everyday - she hasn't been nearly as much of a water dog as Liddy was - but she started to get her sea legs and definitely enjoyed running on the beach and just being with us laying under the umbrella. We know she was healing as well. 

Adam continues to be our beach bum. He even took a turn using the kayak out in the ocean. He was a stud - I wasn't nervous at all (yeah right.) 

Harper made friends with the life guards and got to check out their jet ski - on the sand only. He also became less and less afraid of the ocean as the week progressed - I was equal parts happy and not happy of that - haha. 

We took in as many sunsets as we could - though the clouds didn't always cooperate - still - they are always a thing of beauty to me. 

The boys even humored me one evening by "dressing up" and taking some photos. 

We did lots of bike riding - Adam and I even rode bikes down to this cool smoothie/acai bowl spot. Of course lots of golf cart rides as well. 

The pool was a favorite spot in the afternoons - and Harper became even more comfortable swimming - so that was a bonus as well. 

Our last evening we had crabs at Mark & Kathleen's house. A nice meal to end a tough yet memorable week.
