Makenzie Brooke Wood: Nags Head 2009

This year's Nags Head vacation came and went. As I had mentioned, this is Kenzie's 4th year going. She has been on our annual vacation every year since she was four days old. Every year, I watch as she enjoys Nags Head/Beach/Vacation more and more. This year she did a little more in the ocean. She had a few "wipe outs", as she would call them. She would get up and get back out there. She made small sand castles. She loved making them but more so loved smashing them. She flew a kite for the first time and it was REALLY high. She did well. We stayed out on the beach until 9 pm one night and did glow sticks with Katie. She met a new dog, Beau (Mike Robey's dog). She LOVED him!!! She held a sand crab. She and Katie went "jelly fish hunting" and made up a very cool song to sing while finding them. It goes (if I can remember correctly):

"Hey Mr. Jellyfish, come out of the ocean. I got your baby, come find him"

It was VERY cute! She loved singing it.

She also made up two invisible dogs. One was a boy and one a girl. They came to the beach with us every day, dressed in their "baden-soups" (bathing suits). One dogs name was Melissa. ; )

She swam all by herself in the pool (with the help of swimmies).

Bill hit one day and the adults went bowling. Daniel was on his way, so I decided to leave after dinner Friday night. Kenzie slept the whole way home. We got back about 2:30 am, Saturday morning. I just wanted to be on the safe side. Also, I did not want to sit in evacuation traffic.

We had a really great time, as usual, and cant wait until next year!!

Guess who is flying this kite????

KENZIE!!! All by herself!!!

Running? I guess? LOL

Diva! I have no idea? She did this on her own. LOL Too bad there was no scope guy!!!

Brave girl. Probably right before a "wipe out".

Chasing Seaguls. She wanted to hold one SO bad. She would yell "it's awe-white, I won't hut you"

This bathing suite is adorable! She had her scoop. She was giving out, fake, crabby patties and icecream to everyone. She would also make birthday cakes out of sand and then sing "Happy Birthday"to chosen person.

Off to make more icecream

Every year, we pick a them for our Nags Head crew and wear matching shirts. Past years consisted of... tie dye, animal print, sports teams, TV shows, Funny sayings, etc. This years theam was "Mad Gab". One of my favorite board games. This is a picture of Kenzie and Jenna. They had the same shirt. Can you guess what it says?
