Rather than just reposting the same thing, you can see pictures from Mom's birthday on Bethany's blog here and here.

More from Bethany....

And here are some more pictures from Bethany's blog. Enjoy!

Frisco Beach on Hatteras Island

Sorry we took so long to post these...we misplaced the camera after vacation. We spent the week with the whole Burnett clan and had a very relaxing time.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

This is apparently the only way Gideon could get us and the lighthouse in the picture.

How many more flights of stairs?
