We are in love with Duck!

And I'm not talking about the ducks at our neighborhood pond that like to bite my kids' fingers off if they fail to throw pieces of bread fast enough. Nor am I referring to a piece of meat that you order at fancy restaurants. Nope! I'm talking about Duck, North Carolina. Duck is a quaint little town located in the northern part of the Outer Banks. Mena and Poppy (Bonnie and Gary) are vacationing there with nine of their friends for the week. They have been vacationing with this group of people for a number of years now, and we were thrilled when they invited us to spend some time with their little "Duck Family." This is probably the last time we'll get to do something fun/exciting with Ian for a while because things are about to get a little wild and crazy at Chick-fil-A :). So we're making the most of it. We had an amazing time today, and we are so extremely glad we got the opportunity to spend the day with Mena, Poppy, and their good friends in Duck. 

Waiting to eat lunch at Fishbones

Resting on the futon before fun at the beach

We did a lot of fishing! Ian caught a lot! Here he is
holding a pompano

Our little beach bum! He had the most fun of anyone!

The fishermen (and woman - me!) caught a lot of
puffer fish. Charis liked touching it. Cayman on the
other hand was terrified of the fish.

Poppy - master fishermen!

Ian's pompano

A black drum ??? I think!

Sweet baby girl enjoying the sand - she loved it too!

Giving Mena all their sand

Cayman worked hard to flatten all the sand

Thanks for having us everyone!!! Can't wait until tomorrow!!
