The Beach in October!

So, the week after the wedding, Rylan's parent (from Utah) and Ry's sister, Daina and family (from Georgia) came to visit. We packed a lot into their trip. We went to Seagrove, NC to look at North Carolina pottery.

We also took a day trip to Wrightsville Beach, NC. Need I remind you it is OCTOBER! If Rylan's parents had stayed in Utah on Saturday the 20th, they would have been shoveling snow. Instead, they were walking barefoot on the beach! It was a gorgeous day. We must have swam in the water for 3 or 4 hours. It was warm and sunny. We boogie boarded, swam, built sand castles, and soaked up the sun!

After a fun and sun filled day, Rylee was exhausted. But before falling asleep on the car ride home, she and Mairyn donned makeup from Mairyn's new makeup kit. As you can see, blush was a popular choice. This all happened in the Romney car (Rylan's sister) which was soon after labeled the "fun car". (Needless to say, Ry and I were not in the fun car. And while we were not given the name officially, I could not help but think that this made ours the "unfun car"). At the end of the day, it was all I could do to get the sand, the salt, and the makeup off of Rylee. If how dirty you are is somehow proportional to how much fun you've had, than this was probably one of the best days of Rylee's life!
