the Schrader 5

We made it to the Outer Banks. It took us 9 hours with the awful traffic. I truly shouldn't complain since many others had much worse trips! All 42+ of us eventually made it here and everyone is having a great time together. The boys have been playing non-stop with all of their various cousins, aunts, uncles, great aunts, great uncles, and great grandfather! Noah's quick favorite is Gasoline (aka Kathleen). He hasn't left her side yet. Eric, Asa, Cindy, and Dan are hosting dinner tonight. Dan built a big grill pit in the back yard. Will and Noah were thrilled to get to help him! We spent the morning at the beach and the entire afternoon in the pool. The boys are all exhausted. Will finally crashed on the rec room couch.
