The Sink Fam Vacation 2018: Bulls Bay

This is our year to vacation with the Sink clan.  Georgia decided she may want to save for Disney in a few years, so in lieu of a big beach vacation, we laid low at the Bay.  We had a GREAT time!  Daniel and I took off an extra day at work, and we scooted down a little early to get in some extra sun and water.
we made it!

and a throwback picture... just because.... look at those crabs!

such a cool shot... watching Daddy flip off the dock
 We came inside to unpack and clean up... and afterwards, had to come out to fish a little bit.

Sydney helped catch a fish!

and Ella, too!



there's my whole wide world, and one of my most favorite views, looking across Bulls Bay

I snuck out after dinner to watch the sun set... perfection.
We had off and on rain most of the trip.  We would run out during a break in the clouds and swim until we saw the rain coming towards us over the Bay.  Though the weather wasn't perfect, we all had fun!
floating... on the porch... with Ashley during naptime.


life is good - a giant swan and two little girls


Don't you just want to pinch these two sweet cheeks???!

had to include a throwback picture of the same top (Syd) two years prior

the Miles from PA were spending the week in Nags Head, so we spent the day with them at the beach!  Ella and Sydney had so much fun with cousin Kinsey
We came home from the beach and everyone crabbed.  Daniel would rip off their pinchers for the little ones to hold.  Ashley caught a small one, and didn't think it would pinch, so she handed it to Ella.  Well... turns out, it does pinch, and it grabbed ahold of her finger real good.  She screamed and still has PTSD, but she lived to tell the tale.  Catching crabs was one of Daniel's favorite memories - we caught a ton with nets and chicken legs, and we all laughed a lot.

We took some "Down by the Bay, where the watermelons grow" cousin pictures.  How sweet are these Sink cousins??
 As a side note, getting a decent picture was most definitely impossible.

pure preciousness

watermelon twins

gorgeous sunset.. the Bay never disappoints

Okay... I digress, but how fun was that little walk down Bulls-Bay-Memory-Lane :)

so much fun!
matching Brew Thru shirts, because we're awesome
 And that's a wrap!  Bulls Bay NEVER disappoints, and we all really enjoyed each other.

What a difference a year makes

Holy cow.  Look at these little American dumplings.  Same dress, same girls, same front porch, one year apart.





 
I'm planning to save these dresses for next year, and I bet they'll be shirts!

Never Tell Me the Odds

Just because we have the cutest Star Wars smocks and the most gorgeous Star Wars obsessed three year olds.







Ella and Sydney - your Daddy and I love you to the Death Star and back.
