Wild Horses

Well OBX rocks! We got here at noon on Saturday hoping the house would be ready. Of course it wasn't ready until 3:45pm. So we lowered the air pressure on the Jeeps, and went riding on the beach. What total excitement, and inner happiness, peace, harmony all in one. Driving just feet away from the ocean..... at first I swear I was scared doing 15mph, but after a couple days I'm now doing 30mph! :)

The first day we just spent unpacking, getting food and drinks, etc. Caleb woke up the entire house at 7am on Sunday morning with his proclamation... "LOOK, IT'S LIGHT OUTSIDE. WE CAN GOTO THE BEACH!!!" Not more than an hour later we were at the beach. Even better though, and hence the title of this post, we woke up to see 2 wild horses in our back yard. Literally feet away, and just hanging out.

After a full day at the beach it started getting dark, Robyn and I decided to take Alec, and head south to the Walmart, and avoid the storm. It looked totally fine in the south. Of course after 8 miles back on the beach, and 10 miles on paved road, I got to pull into a gas station because it was pouring. We had the top up, but not front doors, side or back windows on, or with us, whoops :)

It stopped not long after and we made it to walmart after hitting a few more showers, Alec heldup really well. On the way back though, Robyn broke out the Southern Living At Home umbrella I got from my visit to Birmingham, and opened it up over Alec in the back seat. Everyone else who saw us must of though us fools. Driving in the rain with no doors or windows, but yet having an Umbrella up on the inside :) The beach ride back was fun at 20-30mph in wet sand :)

While grilling dinner under the house, it's open will show pics, in the dark I then got a visit from a wild horse. It almost decided to come under the house with me. But then it headed the other way, but I did get some video which I'll upload at some point.

We've spent a lot of money, but it's all worth it. To see Robyn and the kids happy, and see myself totally relaxed, no stress from work, I'm a totally different person.

Oh also, today, boogy boarding, I rode waves twice, at least 30-35 feet right unto shore :) Good waves with High Tide and all :)
