Labor Day

So just when we thought summer was a memory, along came Labor Day. We had a full day together- no school, no work, no nothing. So we packed up our things and spent the day in Kure Beach, where we have never been before. Super nice. We will be back!
We left at around 7 am to get to the Aquarium around opening time, in case of crowds. Turns out there was never too much of a crowd, and we got to see all our fish friends and some alligators too! This aquarium has no otters, and we were all sad about that. But, they did have lessons on the weather, which I especially liked!


Luna, the albino alligator!

Petting the stingrays!

Shark!

I really got into the jellyfish this time and asked Mom to take this picture to show Dad, who was at a football game.

The aquarium is on the beach, so we had some lunch on the picnic benches and hit the beach. It was pretty dark looking when we first got there, so we didn't even get our full suits on.

Lucky for us, all that dark cloud did was thin out the beach crowd. We played for a little more than two hours and it didn't even drizzle!

Jessa let us know when it was time to pack up and say goodbye to the NC beaches until 2011. We'll be back!
