This morning Kevin, Mom Bernard, and John woke up at 6am and saw the sunrise.
Notice I did not, I slept in till about 8:30am then made eggs, bacon, and toast for everyone and we ate outside on the deck since it was warmer out. We saw dolphins again everywhere in the water! So fun! Today was supposed to be warmer since the last couple days were pretty windy and in the 60's so we Ventured out to Jockey Ridge National Park. Its a park made of sand dunes and I was amazed at the sight of the dunes! I felt like I was in Egypt or some other desert in a far off place!
 |
| excited for whats to come on this gorgeous day! |
 |
| So sunny! I got a little burn on my face. |
 |
| Look at this view! This is what we saw when we cleared the bushes from the park entrance! |
A bunch of little kids were running down the hill to put their shoes back on and leave when we arrived. There was about 60 little flip flops scattered around the entrance. So we followed suit and took our off but took them with us and started up the hill.
 |
| Can I just mention that it is a workout just walking through sand? I have worked muscles in my feet and legs that I didnt know were there! |
 |
| It was kind of a steep walk up |
 |
| Once we got over the top this is what we saw! Amazing! |
 |
| I was pretty excited about the park and how beautiful and different it was but also I was excited to break in my new Koi Kite Kevin and I got Yesterday! |
 |
| John ran out a distance to see what was on the other side. |
 |
| I got started right away with my kite! The dunes are known for the wind since there is a hang gliding school there so getting the kite up was a breeze...lol! |
 |
| Isn't it adorable? I loved it and it would "swim" around in the blue sky! |
 |
| Having fun with the kite still. |
 |
| You could spot the hang gliding class going on on some of the dunes! |
 |
| I got it pretty high! I needed more string. |
 |
| Kevin taking a crack at it |
 |
| But poor Koi took a "dive" lol |

After the park we went to a beach store and I got a new beach hat and Kevin got some sunglasses both for cheap. Then we got charcoal for the grill and headed home to eat lunch. I hung out on the deck for a bit just relaxing and watching the waves. Later Kevin, John, and I went on the beach with the kite and pail and shovel and hung out.

| My new hat |
 |
| The pelicans were quite the entertainment so far this week. They circle close like this then go pretty high in the air then angle their wings and nose dive into the water to catch their lunch! So fun to watch! |
 |
| Also I am amazed at how many dolphins we were able to spot at multiple times through the day! These were pretty far off but when we didnt have the camera they came really close to shore about 20 ft away from us! |
 |
| Someone left their kite flying on the beach anchored to a tree stump. |
 |
| Look at this stud! |
 |
| Kevin and John played catch on the beach. |
 |
| Love him! :) |

After a few hours at the beach Kevin and John grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and I made pasta salad. It was yummy! What a perfect day!
