Last Vacation before School

Before school started we went back to the Outer Banks with my parents and sister. My aunt and cousin joined later in the week. The beach is a great get away. The boys always have such a great time. Not as much fun as in June when they have all their cousins to play with. Sadly they were the only kids this time. But they did pretty good. Thankfully they were entertained with the beach, the pool, the XBox that came with the house, playing foosball, bike rides and just being someplace different. Counting down the days until next year!
Diego makes his dad proud. He is a really good foosball player. It took two people most times to try and beat him.
The boys decided to feed their snack to the seagulls. They were some happy birds!
But pretty soon this is what we had to look at, even after there wasn't any more food.
After all that fun these two couldn't take it anymore!
On the way to the beach we pass these two ponds that always have turtles sunbathing so the boys and grandpa thought they would try and catch some turtles and fish. The previous day they caught 3 turtles and 1 fish. This day they didn't have any biters. Diego kept trying to hack the fish or turtles into the net and so they'd swim away. We told him to be still like a statue so they'd come closer to him. This is his pose. Anthony got a little bored when nothing was happening so we found a way to amuse ourselves.
Diego put this together. Thanks Nana for bringing some entertainment.
Along with diving, Diego learned a new trick. Here is his back flip. I think he could have done it all day long.
