Since Lis and the boys are going to Virginia tomorrow, we decided to go to the beach today even though there was a slight chance of rain. First we went to Fort Macon and we found a few new shells, a couple of hermit crabs and a starfish. Sam wanted to bring the starfish home but we vetoed that idea. We did get Dad some water to clean his crystals with too. After that we went back to the real beach with the lifeguards and Alex tried out his new boogie board. Sam and Mom continued to look for shells and dad took some photos. At some point in time, Lis and Sam had wandered off down the beach and it started drizzling. By the time they got back and we got everything together it was pouring and everyone was making a mad dash to the shelter/bathrooms. Needless to say we were all soaked by the time we got back to the car. Overall we all had fun and are settling in to watch a movie (after Mom and Dad clean all the sand out of the car!).
