Swinging in the yard, waiting on everyone to be ready to go
Charlie was more interested in splashing in puddles
The beach was only a short block from the house. It was a beautiful day. There were lots of fishing boats out, so we saw lots of birds flying around as well.
Lucy was ready to be a beach bum!
Michael snapped this picture of us while we were sitting in the waves. I love these moments with my kids, just sitting and being together. Such sweet, peaceful moments!!
After a fun morning at the beach, we had a good lunch and all the kids had a good nap. Fun at the beach can sure wear you out!! That evening, while we were fixing dinner, Gramma and Pappy took the kids outside for a watergun fight. Pappy tried to snap a picture of Gramma with all her babies. . . they are all in the picture, at least! (They weren't very interested in the camera, as you can tell.)
I think it's safe to say that they had a good time. . .
Lucy liked giving Rosa a drink from her water gun
Harper had a good time watering the plants too
Such a good picture of Pappy!
On Monday, there was a dangerous heat index, so we headed down to the NC Aquarium for another fun filled day, but indoors!
The boys had so much fun jumping on the white lines with Uncle Joe
The first thing we saw once we got inside was this replica of an alligator. The kids were so excited by this and it took a moment to convince them that if we just went a little farther we could see live alligators!
Fish!
Can you see the albino alligator??
All the kids were so excited to climb on the sea turtle statue!
They had a large touch tank inside. Lucy would touch the starfish, but she wasn't going anywhere near the horseshoe crabs. Of course, Alex had no fear!!
Lucy the Crab
The kids had the best time with this cutout out seahorses!!
Of course, their favorite part of the whole museum was the playground outside!!!
Stay tuned for Part 2 of our beach trip!!!
