Thanksgiving at the Beach - Caryl's Surprise!!

We arrived in Duck, NC at about 6 pm on Saturday night, Nov. 20th. We got the kids to bed and started to relax for the evening at the beach house that Julio had rented for the week. We were all sitting down doing puzzles and email when someone was at the door. This was Caryl's reaction when she saw...
Aunt Judy and Uncle Henry come up the stairs from the front door!! This was her first surprise of the big 70th Birthday week! She had no idea that Aunt Judy and Uncle Henry (Caryl's sister and brother in law) were going to be with us at the beach for half the week. She had even mentioned about an hour before they arrived, "We could call Judy and see if they can come out here?!" We tried to play it off and say they couldn't make it. :)
Needless to say, Caryl was so happy! :)
The next morning, Papi and Caryl got up early and went on a sunrise walk on the beach. This was the view from their room! We were able to get a beach front house for the week, it was amazing!
I had to throw in a little pic of the morning routine with Granny, Gabriel and Ayden. :) When we are staying with or having Caryl and Papi to stay with us, Gabriel loves to go into their room and wake Granny up and ask for "Oatmeal, Granny?" They have their routine of making the oatmeal and Gabriel is in heaven! They consume more oatmeal when Granny and Papi are around then they do most of the year! :)
