Let’s go fly a kite!
We LOVE being near the ocean! We took the kids on a cool evening to fly kites at the beach. We had a great time. Katie was probably the most excited. She was all over the place. And even though it was a bit chilly it didn’t stop Becca and Katie from wading out in the water. Brrrr!
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday we went to the aquarium again. The kids (including Jason) love it there. Even though we have been a few times now I still think they could spend all day there again. We did go on the outdoor nature trails this time which we haven’t done yet. It was a great little hike. No need for a stroller, Xander was a trooper walking and running down the trail, we had to hurry to keep up with him!
This is the favorite spot at the aquarium…the sting rays!!! Xander would have jumped right in and swam with them if they would let him. They do let you “pet” them though. We also got to see the ‘swimming with the shark’ event. Two divers went into the tank to swim with the sharks and fish. After swimming around and answering any questions, they got out and then they fed the sharks and fish. This tank is huge and beautiful. Inside the tank they have built a replica (part of it) of a German submarine that was sunk miles off the North Carolina coast. Another fun day at the coast!
