Shawn loved being in the water , and loves the beach! He spent every moment possible in the water. Sadly he got sick on thursday and didn't feel well enough to go back in the water.....
Greg loves the beach! He would wear his life vest and go back and forth between the water and the sand...
David was in the water almost as much as his brothers...he catches waves as well as anyone! Hurricane Bertha was in the Atlantic and surfers came out in droves to catch big waves, David watched them carefully and then began trying to stand on his boogie board! I have a feeling we will be getting surf boards in the next few years...
Alex loves the ocean! He boogie boards and swims and plays non stop! One day his game was to sit down and wait for the waves to wash over him, several strong waves ended up throwing him around..after a few hours I guess he was sick of being thrown around, so he buried himself in one spot and sat there allowing wave after wave to wash over him...
Melissa usually just played in the sand with her cousins..she occassionally got into the water, but not very often.
I love to go on walks with the kids, and when we are at the beach we not only enjoy walks on the beach, but we enjoy other interesting things. Near where we stay is a pond with lots and lots of turtles...as soon as you walk up to the pond they come to the edge in hopes of some bread crumbs...Grandpa loves critters and reached right out and got a turtle so the kids could have a closer look...
The turtle pond is on the road which takes you to the Cape Hatteras light house. I enjoyed two morning runs to the light house. One day Dale and I and the kids climbed the 257 steps to the top of the lighthouse. It is a tight climb and you have to be 42 inches tall to climb. (Last year Greg barely made the cut off) Once at the top you have a view of the Island and the beach. It is breezey and beautiful at the top.
In 1999 beach errosion threatened the light house so it was moved further inland. Here is a picture of the original foundation of the Light House.
Here is the view from the top...The picture is not mine, (I forgot my camera the day we went to the light house!) The clearing shows the path that the Light House was moved.

That was the fastest week ever. I had a super, awesome, terrific time with the best family in the world.
agreed! I think we ought to go for 2 weeks next year!!
It was great! I can't believe you got all that posted so quickly! We'll have to make CDs of each other's pictures at some point soon.
THis looks like it was a lot of fun. My favorite picture (eventhough it was hard to choose) was Greggy's spiked hair. He's a cutie, you should get him to wear it like that more often. I love it!
