Cutlers at the Beach

We took a day excursion to Topsail Beach (apparently it's pronounced Top Soul) which is about a 2.5 hour drive from Durham. Our friends the Birdnos came with us who are also in the BME program at Duke. It was nice because Kirsten had a friend to play with, and we could trade off taking care of the children while the others went boogie boarding in the waves. The Atlantic ocean is very warm so it was lots of fun.

Here is Kirsten enjoying a plum.

Brooke, at seven and a half months pregnant, is still a surfing daredevil


Boogie Boarding -- note how I'm eating salt water while Brooke rides like a pro.
