Back From the Outer Banks!

David is helping Maggie and Zach complete their word search to earn a Junior Ranger badge at Fort Raleigh before The Lost Colony performance!
Here is our own personal pirate with a new friend!
Yes, folks, this is your future pastor/missionary! Scary, huh?
A view from the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse...after breathing from the oxygen tanks provided for those who needed them!


Today, we returned from a camping trip to Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks. We had a GREAT time! We really enjoyed some time together to relax, play, swim, burn, etc.! Some of the highlights of the trip:

-seeing a performance of The Lost Colony on Roanoke Island
-watching Zach boogie board on the beach (I think we have a future Olympian!)
-climbing Cape Hatteras lighthouse (largest lighthouse in the US - equivalent to 12 stories high!)
-RUNNING to our car in the ferry lane to catch the ferry from Hatteras to Ocracoke (we were shopping when it began loading - thought we had plenty of time!!!)
-watching Maggie net some crabs in the campground pond
-helping Andy choose the PERFECT souvenirs from the trip
We had a great time - hope you enjoy the pictures!
