"Spring Break" is over; not that it ever really started. We skip SB so that we can get out by the end of April. The extra kids do have spring break though, so we have a slightly easier schedule. We went to the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium on Thursday. We left at 8:30 and got back at 5:00. We spent a lot of the day at the aquarium and then part of the afternoon at the nearby fort. My kids were able to introduce several friends to Fort Macon, and they had a ball. They don't love it for the historical value, but for the cool places to play hide and seek.
We stayed at the touch tank a long time. The sting rays were especially playful.
We walked out on the boardwalk to go through the wetland salt marsh. While out there we watched a pelican sleeping on the boardwalk. It was about the size of a large pumpkin, and every now and then it would stretch out its neck. The neck was long, and I imagine if it had wanted it could have snatched any of the kids.
After we came home, we ate dinner, fed the animals, and took off again. It was the County 4-H Talent Show and Fashion Revue. My boys didn't participate, but #2 did model a scarf that his friend crocheted. Look out GQ!
