More Pictures from our Vacation




As we were driving around Kill Devil Hills, NC (the Outer Banks), we kept seeing this sand castle. It was at the bottom of the Dunes that are part of a state park. We thought somewhat had made it, like in a contest or something, and it was so exquisite, they decided to save it and put a fence around it. However, the dunes drifted and covered it up. Turns out, it's all that's left of a putt-putt golf course. The dunes REALLY drifted and have covered ALL of the course except this sand castle. We loved it and wanted to have a picture since it may no longer be there next year (or the whole course could reappear again - you never know which).

The second picture is my fisherman. Dane was itching to go fishing. Don scoped out the area and found a great dock full of other fishermen. He planned an early morning trip with Dane. When the rest of us woke, Daddy and Daney were gone. When they returned, Don told us that an older gentleman had needed help reeling his fish in and asked if Dane would do it for him. Dane happily complied and this is him with the older gentleman's fish. He didn't catch anything, but he enjoyed himself all the same, and it was a wonderful time for him and his father together.

The last picture is Daelyn on top of the dunes flying a kite he made at the kite store. While Don shopped, I sat with the kids in the tent outside and we made our own kites and decorated them. Don came out of the store and disappeared with the boys while Deanna and I finished our kites. When we went looking for the guys, we finally discovered them up on the dunes (after thoroughly searching the store).

Incidentally, something very funny happened while Deanna and I were in the kite store looking for the guys. I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
