Pea Island, A Rainbow, and Key Lime Pie

On Friday, our last official day in the Outer Banks, we drove down to Pea Island again to spend a few hours there.

We love this beach because... 

1.) hardly anyone is there 

2.) it's absolutely beautiful and

3.) it has a lot of nice sea shells just waiting to be snatched up.

 After a few hours, we decided to drive back to Kill Devil Hills since we saw the dark storm clouds coming and knew what that meant.

 Once we were there, Jon took the munchkins out in the water.

 Buddy decided to make an 'angry man' in the sand.

 This picture shows his 'angry' eyebrows a little better.

 Sissy made a 'happy' lady in the sand after seeing Buddy's 'angry' man.

 Jon definitely got his work out taking the kids in and out of the waves.

 Towards the end of our time at the beach on our last day, Sissy ventured out a little bit further into the waves to jump them with Buddy.  I'm glad she finally warmed up to going into the water.... on our last day!

 As we were packing up our stuff at the beach, it started to rain just a little bit, and the sun was still shining.  So, I looked for a rainbow and sure enough, there was one right by the pier!

Once again, a beautiful reminder of God's promises to us!  A great way to end our last day at the beach.

After getting cleaned up, we went to another favorite restaurant of ours, The Kill Devil Grill.  It was pretty busy that night, so we waited for about a half hour to be seated.  They have great seafood there and the best key lime pie we've ever tasted!  I think I have a new favorite dessert, key lime pie from The Kill Devil Grill!  So good!

We had a wonderful family vacation in the Outer Banks!  It was filled with great memories and a lot of down time for rest and relaxation.  We are already looking forward to our time there next summer!
