OBX and Mothers Day...

What a most fabulous weekend! On Thursday, Shane invited me to his preschool for a Mother's Day Tea at 11am. HOW ADORABLE! The kids had made little tea sandwiches, had strawberries and cookies for us. They sang to us and presented us with flowers...It was really special! Thursday night was Shane's soccer banquet. That was fun for him to get a medal and mark the end of his first soccer season. He told me that he did indeed like soccer and was planning on playing again---we'll see how that works out...ha! On Friday morning, Shane and I packed the car and headed to the OBX! Our most favorite place :) We got there in about 2 1/2 hours and did some shopping, then headed down to Wanchese to meet Rob's fishing charter when it came in. After cleaning up, we went to dinner at Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe---DELISH! Shane's manners were IMPECCABLE at dinner. I've never seen him be so polite! We were some proud parents after we left there---Saturday was the best day ever! We started with breakfast at Darrell's in Manteo, then headed to Jockey's Ridge to the sand dunes. I had never climbed the dunes before and can't believe I waited so long! What a sight :) It was like being in the middle of the desert. We took Shane's Buzz Lightyear kite and once we made it to the top, we sat back and flew the kite and just enjoyed the beautiful day. After finding our way out of Jockey's Ridge, we headed to Mulligans and sat out on the deck and enjoyed a drink and some lunch. Another delicious meal! We then played a round of mini golf at Mutiny Bay--what fun! :) We laughed and just had the best time...After golf, we hit Kitty Hawk kites, where Shane picked out a "do-it flag"...one of those whirly looking not a kite, not a windsock, not a flag type jobs...ha! He calls them "do-it flags" because they are made out of the same thing as a flag, but they do things...ha! We headed back to the house for a little nap and showers. That night, we headed to the movie theater to see Rio...we loved it! What a great movie :) After the movie, we went back home and ordered in some pizza. Shane fell asleep before the pizza even got there! He was worn out!! Not a peep did we hear from him until 8:30 the next morning...On Mother's Day, we headed to the Nags Head Pier for breakfast...What a cool place--it was raining, so I didn't get to explore like I wanted to, but that will definitely be a place I"ll go back to. After breakfast, we headed home for lunch at Nancy's house with the family---When we got home, we planted the new palm tree that Rob & Shane gave me for mother's day--I had been wanting one for a while, so that was the PERFECT gift :) I'm so thankful for my family---meltdowns and all...I'm so lucky to live with the two greatest guys on the face of the earth--even if I don't always act like it. I love you Robbie Norris! I love you Shaney Poo! :)
