Beach bums

We arrived safely in North Carolina, only after some minor fights and raging at my kids. The place is very nice, we spent the day at the beach. The kids all had fun. We did a lot of body surfing, the kids made a sand castle and the boys even tried some surf fishing.

They want to go on some backwater (causeway) fishing and may rent an afternoon on the boat. The boys also want to rent Jet-ski's. We'll see if they make the cutoff age. (Secretly, I'm hoping they have to be at least 16....)

We are right near a sea turtle sanctuary area, which means that there are at least 3 areas very near us on the beach that sea turtles have laid their eggs. We think it may be soon, as one of them already has the guided walkway to the sea set up. (hard to describe, but it's a pathway that guides the baby turtles right to the ocean) Anna loves sea turtles and is so excited to maybe see the event! (here are the pictures of the turtle contraption)

We also saw dolphins off shore flipping in the ocean!
