Zinser family vacation 2013: Topsail, NC

Road Trip!  The annual Zinser beach trip was held in Topsail, NC.  It was a quaint city with a beautiful beach.  Most days consisted of heading to the pool around 9am and coming in around 4:30.  We made a couple trips to the beach each day.  The kids loved the sand this year and enjoyed building castles.  We had rain on the last day, otherwise the weather was perfect with low humidity and lots of sunshine!

 We obviously love taking pictures and snapping family pictures on vacation.  As you can imagine, getting everyone on the same page to smile at the same time can be difficult and the wind always makes matters worse.  This picture is a riot and captures it all. 
Sage enjoyed swimming, snacking, pushing his lawnmower around and napping outside on the deck. 
The kids had fun taking turns riding in Papa's Mustang and learning the words to James Taylor's "Carolina in My Mind" as Papa strummed his guitar. 
 

As we drove away all of the cousins were crying because they were so sad the week was over.  Thank you Mom and Dad for continuing this wonderful tradition.  We look forward to this week each year.  Back to reality...

Happy 4th of July

God Bless America!

It's not a cut, just a trim!


I know, I know, I know...I said I wouldn't get it cut, BUT his bangs were getting into his eyes and before we head to the beach I thought we should just get them trimmed.  Don't worry, the curls, aka the "flow" as my neighbors call it is still intact!
