The "Sound" of silence...Day 3

Today we went to the Cape Hatteras Light House, which the boys climbed. Juliana was too small so I volunteered (hehehe) to stay behind and not climb the 257 steps to the top. I was happy with just seeing the pictures.


After the lighthouse we had a wonderful lunch and then headed off to "The Sound" ... this is an inlet from the Atlantic (yes, a huge lake that you can't see the end) that the kids could swim in, fish in, find hermit crabs and regular crabs in. They had a blast. I, on the other hand, had a slight panic/anxiety attack. They could literally walk out FAR into the lake without having to swim much. It didn't help that there were all kinds of snails (small ones), fish, hermit crabs, and regular crabs just swimming by. *fainting* Once 'the boys' came back closer to me, I felt more comfortable. It was just us there...no noise but my own kids!








































See them? WAY out there? They walked out there!!

Why do you need to buy a hermit crab when you can catch them? The boys caught 4 of them ... some of them had some nasty shells for their homes. Ew. Mommy released them, I felt bad for them.



HAHAHAHA! Caught them! They DO love each other!!! Kris was afraid of the seaweed, so Jake told him he'd hold his hand and walk out into the lake with him. How sweet!! (once in a lifetime, I'm sure.)
