July 4th, Emerald Isle Style!

Before having to go back to work next week, we all headed to Emerald Isle for a few days to soak up some sun and relax.  It was so nice to get away and prepare ourselves for the hustle and bustle of life with a new baby and me going back to work full time on Monday! :( Here are a few pictures of why I am envious of those who truly live the "Salt Life"...with the exception of the shark and large bear we encountered while being there! ;)
P.S.  I forgot to mention that Hadley rolled over from her belly to her back twice while we were down there.  She is growing up too fast but is oh so advanced! :)

The HUGE bear that crossed the road in front of us in Jones County

The "bestest" Uncle around...as per Hannah!
