Outerbanks (Part 3)

Field Trip Day....meaning we were out to explore some of the things in the Outer Banks.

The grounds at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse provided many free fun things to see!

It included a little store packed with treasures.

While not blood related, these bro-in-laws do look a lot alike.

Duck hunting was a big deal in this area in the past, so a lot of info on that!

Poppy get in on the action.

The property had other beautiful areas to look at.

The girls were not enjoying the heat as much but found some shade.

There was, also, the Currituck Maritime Museum there.

We briefly went in a store nearby where Ezra had a great idea!

We enjoyed some iced coffee or smoothies for a refreshing treat.

Brief awkward photos with Josiah.

Once back at the house, we hung out a bit and the girls enjoyed some more swim time.

While some amazing dinner cooked.

Selfies found on my phone...

and Zoe got grammy with a .5 photo.

Still moments together.

Happy boy!

After dinner it was off to take some family photos at the beach....

Outerbanks (Part 2)

Another beautiful weather day to hang out at the beach in the morning.

 

The only time Josiah is really still is when he is on his throne highchair...ready to eat!

Zoe and I went on a walk and she wanted to take some photos.

She, also, wanted to take some of me.  While that is not my thing, I do want to be a good sport with her and obliged.

On our bike adventure, I discovered a herd of turtles in the nearby pond, and really wanted Josiah to see them, so we all took a walk to do so.

They were still there!

We brought some lettuce to feed them.

I have never seen so many together like that!

D took some of the girls to check out a nearby shop.

While some of us hung out at the house.

That evening the girls wanted another walk on the beach.  Since it is a few blocks away, we got shuttled there this time.

The Lifeguard stand was open, so they took advantage of the view.

And some individual shots as well.

Another beautiful night!

How she would really like to pose...

At dusk the ghost crabs start coming out, and there are tonssss of them!  It made walking back a little challenging in the dark and there were many girly squeals and laughter (and maybe some fear).  I think they counted over 200 while walking and trying not to step on them.

Such a beautiful night cap!
