Wilmington Trip - Day 4

The fourth day of our Wilmington trip was Tuesday, June 18th.  I am so slow at getting this trip posted!  We need to stop doing things so I don't have other things to blog about too :)

Anyway, we had another semi-sunny day (at least there was no rain).  It was never really hot at the beach during our trip.  If anything, it was too cool sometimes to really want to only wear a bathing suit.  As was becoming our routine, we went to the beach in the morning and stayed until after lunch.

We built a sand castle with a moat and bridge (and shells to block the bridge from bad guys).


I dug a super deep hole for Carter.  I had hit water at this depth and it got difficult to make it any deeper.




Rylan got his legs buried by my mom.


(I stopped taking so many pictures at the beach at this point because they were all starting to look the same. :) )

After dinner that night we went down to Kure Beach.  First we walked out on the fishing pier.




There was a single pelican walking around.


Apparently he likes to catch his food the easy way (by getting fish that the fisherman don't want).



We watched anytime a fisherman looked like he was reeling something in.  We saw one guy catch a baby shark.  He was nice enough when we saw us to bring the shark over so the boys could touch it.


So Carter touched two sharks in two days!





Next we drove down to Fort Fisher to walk around near the fort.  We started off on the ocean side.




And then crossed the street to the fort.



The museum was closed but we walked around by the anchor and canon.




And then back to the ocean side where I wanted to get some pictures on these cool trees.  Getting a nice smile from silly boys is hard sometimes!






I could not get both boys to cooperate at the same time to get a good picture with my mom!


A few sunset pictures ...
