OBX Celebration

We went to the Outer Banks to celebrate the life of Gary's Uncle Toby.  He passed away last month.  Uncle Toby was such a fun loving and friendly guy to be around.  He could always make me smile and laugh.  Uncle Toby lived in Kill Devil Hills in the Outer Banks. Gary and I really enjoyed getting to visit with him each time we were down there for our summer beach vacations.  He will be missed dearly by everyone!

While we were down in the Outer Banks we got to enjoy a mini family vacation.  We spent our mornings walking on the beach and got to enjoy some incredibly delicious seafood at almost every meal.  Also got to see some of the historical sites the Outer Banks has to offer.

Ready for our morning stroll

Ollie loved walking on the beach! Put him to sleep everytime...
