Bald Head Island

Chris and I officially introduced the boys to our favorite vacation spot, Bald Head Island. If you have never been there before, it is absolutely beautiful! You have to take a ferry over to the island and there are no cars on the island. Everyone travels around in golf carts. There is a little bit of everything too. There is a forest area, marsh area, harbour area, the beach and of course the golf course. We enjoy the island because you can go hiking one day, kayaking through the marsh the next day and then spend time on the beach. There is also a huge abundance of wild life there. Every time we go we see deer, foxes, pelicans, cranes, herons, alligators, turtles, etc. They even have a conservancy on the island that protects the sea turtle eggs that make it on the island.

It is also very quiet. It isn't commercialized like a lot of vacation spots. There is one grocery store, a handful of restaurants and the golf course. There are no hotels. There is one inn and everyone else stays in houses. So, you spend a lot of quality time with family cooking your own meals and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Here are some of our pictures for you to enjoy...

Cooper and Mommy relaxing on the beach in our cabana. That cabana was by far the best purchase of the summer! The boys have taken many naps in it and I have been able to enjoy the beach some while they are napping! :)

Uncle Scott playing with Cooper. I'm guessing Cooper was crying here and Scott was ready to hand him back to Chris...

One of my favorite pictures. My sister-in-law is really a great photographer. The boys are playing in their cabana here on the beach.

Grandparents and Grandkids! I love this!

The boys first trip to the pool. Emory loved it. He was already swimming around like a pro! Cooper just lounged around, but he still enjoyed it.

Papa Steve and Emory relaxing on the beach.

Family picture time!

I love this picture! The sun is setting and the boys look so cute!

Happy Emory after playing in the pool! Look out ladies! What a cutie!

The boys enjoying the sand.

Emory enjoying the beach. This is in between waves. He had such a good time watching the water go in and out.

This was such a great moment for Chris and I. I am such a lucky lady to have such a great husband!

My parents! I love this picture! They have been together for over 35 years and are still so cute!

My neice and nephew. The best part about this picture was that it was not prompted at all. They got tired of everyone else taking pictures and sat down together. How cute are they?

This is at the beginning of the week as we are waiting on the ferry to take us to the island. You can see one of the ferrys behind us.

This was one of my favorite days! I got a girl day with my mom. We played a little golf and it was just the two of us! I played horrible and the maintenance people were all over the place, but it was still an amazing day!!
