We had a great week at Ocean Isle Beach for the Regan Reunion! We drove down to Cary the Friday before the beach week to drop Lulu off at Grandma's house. I'm sure it was nice for Lulu to have a lovely, relaxing week. We had an amazing trip full of family time, birthdays, swimming and yummy food. Our house was gorgeous and had a fantastic pool. I have never spent so much time at a pool while at the beach before. The kids were able to spend time with cousins, participate in the talent show and compete in the olympics.
Our beautiful house!
We could see the beach from the deck.
The kids wasted no time before getting into the pool.
We went to visit other houses the first night. Harper brought her new birthday book to read.
