Ocean Isle Beach - 2005

You have not idea how hard it is to get 18 people in position, hold still, smile at the same time and end up with a picture you like. It turned out well despite the oncoming storm.

It was a great summer vacation and we love to visit Ocean Isle Beach. It is our home away from home and special because our family gathers there every year. We like it so much, we decided to buy property near by (Calabash) and intend to retire there someday.

We are looking forward to having a new addition to this picture in 2006 when Laura officially joins the family in September. She and Darrell will be married September 9, 2006.

Debbie's hired photographer took a lot of other pictures. Not sure how many made the archive. It was great to have everyone together and at least we made it back to the car before the downpour.
