Outer Banks: Day Two

It was raining pretty hard Thursday morning so we headed to the aquarium. The kids loved it, especially seeing the sea turtle rehab center and touching the sting rays. We thought about stopping at the Wright Brothers Memorial but the Park Service had already shut everything down due to the impending storm. We stopped for lunch and groceries and then headed back to the beach house. The rain stayed away for the afternoon so we headed down to the beach. The kids had so much fun playing in the waves every time we were at the beach. My favorite part of the trip was just watching them play together in the waves. Simon was especially fun to watch, laughing hysterically every time a wave would knock him down. The kids loved getting in the hot tub after time at the beach, despite the fact that it was so warm and humid outside.

Our beach house. We loved this location.

Watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas," doing puzzles, and lounging.
