FUN TIMES AT THE BEACH...........ALONG WITH EDUCATIONAL TIME

 Camryn and Makenzie
(I was given the correct spelling of their names while at Matt and Ryann's on Tuesday.   I was busy with the kids, didn't have a pen or paper so I'm hoping I got it right this time.  If not you can write it down and give it to me when you come home.)
As I said yesterday although the girls are on vacation it is necessary that they have information to take back to school showing the education portion of their trip was completed.  As we know the Wright Brothers had their first flight from Kitty Hawk not far from where the girls are staying.  Here some information for you  Cam & Kenzie.   The Wright Brothers owned a bicycle shop in Ohio. They moved to the Outer Banks to test their theory on man flight using the dunes and prevailing winds  

Tayler
This little nugget of info is from your Pappy always looking out for his Mini.  In less than 100 years the distance of the Wright Brother's flight is actual shorter than the wind span of modern day super airliners. 
 Camryn
Taking it easy on her board. 
Day 5 at the Outer Banks for this group and from the pictures it looks like they are having a good time.  I'm sure things got much better when the ban was lifted and the children were allowed in the water.  From their pictures it seems like they have been busy.  Of course they have been swimming in both the pool and the ocean.  They've played in the sand, visited light houses, The Wright Brother's Museum played miniature golf, gone for ice cream and visited a few shops.  Imagine Erin and four girls shopping.  Tom must be saint to deal with that.
Sydney is up on her board
Ever since the Spring of last year, when Tayler came home from school talking about Bethany Hamilton Sydney loves to watch the DVD and watch her stories on the computer.  I know in her little mind she thought she was riding the wave just like Bethany does.  I'm sure he had one eye out for the shark.
Erin and MaKenzie
Looks like they are having fun over a game of miniature golf.
Home Away From Home
This is a perfect little home for the group of six.  It's when you get all 12 of us there that there is a  need for a much bigger house, more bedrooms and bathrooms,  two dishwashers, two refrigerators, washing machines, dryers,  hot tubs, pool, pet friendly, and even an elevator.  Hopefully next June you will find us all there.  As long as the hurricane season holds off or they don't track up the OBX.
What's this picture about????
We will have to wait to find out what this is about.  In the very middle of this picture there is a black area towards the top of the picture.    Pappy said it's an alligator looking for Micky.  Your guess is as good as mind, but I know  I will find out when I talk with them.
The area they are staying at is called Turtle Pond.  Any idea?  It's a turtle.
