Beach (at home), First Visit of the Season

 On Friday of Spring Break, Chris and I had our first day of the season at the beach. It was a beautiful day. I can’t wait for more. 

Nags Head (OBX) Spring Break

Spring Break was nice and relaxing. We enjoyed beach and family time in Nags Head. Ashleigh, Sam, and Glorf were able to join us there too. Helen and Jim were able to come and too. We stayed in a relaxing Airbnb home that was a 5 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed breakfast at the house one morning with Chris making breakfast and another morning I made breakfast. We also enjoyed yummy biscuits from a place called Biscuit Porn. The biscuits were great! Everyone had a sausage cheese biscuit. The place was a gas station with a kitchen. It was one of the must try places. We walked Glorf several times. One day we had a fun day at the beach. The water was cold and the Naso tent kept falling, but we had a great time playing bocce ball, listening to music, throwing the football, and playing with Glorf. This was Glorf’s first visit to the beach. He couldn’t figure out the tides and waves. Ashleigh was so cute in her maternity swim suit. 

At the house, Ashleigh found a puzzle and she was great at putting the pieces together. I’d help and fill in, and to Helen’s surprise we finished the puzzle. 

Another day we played mini golf. We had to split up into two teams and each team played different courses. It was a beautiful day. The boys and I also rode go carts 

We ate yummy dinners of seafood, Japanese bowls, and blacked fish tacos. We also had ice cream several times. We took a drive to Cape Hatteras and also had colored Jockey Ridge Park. The dunes were so high. The park looked like a desert of sand. People were flying kites and sledding down the dunes on boogie boards. Our drive was absolutely gorgeous. The lighthouse was closed because they were doing repairs and was not very recognizable ,but we were able to see another lighthouse, Bodie lighthouse in the distance in our drive. 

Chris and I went on a beach walk and on the return we walked along the path of the street. We saw so many shells. Lots of steps but it was nice—just me and Chris.    

Graduation Season is Upon Us

Dylan came home with his graduation gown. As he walked through the door, I could feel the excitement when he entered. In just 5 short weeks,  he will walk across the stage and graduate. He has been in school since he was three years old. I am so grateful for all the teachers, administrators, students, and friends that have supported and helped mold him into the young man he is today. Having Down syndrome and being incontinent has been overcome in so many ways. Dylan has a heart of gold and has a personality like no other. When I opened his cap, gown, and invitations, I looked over and he was crying. He stated, “Happy Tears”. I love this guy!
