The Zinser family had another fabulous vacation. We traveled to the Outer Banks, NC. Except for one day of rain, we had beautiful weather. We drove through the night going to NC, as well as coming home. The girls did well and the 11 hour drive went smoothly.
James, Emma, Hailey and Kate loved playing together. They enjoyed playing in the water, having craft time (thanks Kim!), and having their nightly dance parties! Now that there are 4 kids, eating out isn't as relaxing as it once was - so we cooked half of our dinners. John and I hosted "steak night." Kim and Jim brought their deep fryer and they made delicious buffalo wings, french fries, onion rings, and even deep fried Twinkies (amazing!!!). Mom and Dad had a Mexican fiesta! Our house was beautiful and the views were amazing! Thank you Mom and Dad for your generosity!
Kate liked playing in the sand, but she wasn't sure about the ocean. Emma definitely likes the pool more than the ocean. She loved jumping off the side of the pool! Here are a few of our pictures. We also had professional pictures taken on the beach and I will post when they're available.
Kim brought the kids up for a visit. We headed to our pool and to COSI. The kids have an amazing time together and they are hilarious to watch! Kate will be up and running with the rest of them before too long!

Emma and Hailey smile at the splash park in their matching suits!
Our friend Meredith celebrated her 3rd birthday with a princess party! It was a beautiful party and Emma loved dressing up! I think my daughter walks in heels better than I do! These pics were too cute, I had to post them!
Our boat rides were typically in the afternoon, so we would load Rach and Kate in their strollers and they would snooze away! Here is Kate's first trip on the boat!
"Don't make me do it Mom!!!"

Peek-a-Boo! 
Again, better late than never! We headed to Dayton to celebrate Grandpa's birthday on July 11th! The girls and Grandpa looked cute in their yellow! We had a delicious home cooked meal and a wonderful visit! Emma loves to help blow out the candles!
I figure its better to post late, than never! The girls looked darling in their patriotic outfits! Dublin puts on a wonderful fireworks display... I think we'll be attending this event for years to come! Kate was in awe of the show. Emma was pretty excited about her neon necklace that Daddy bought her!
