Oak Island: Day 6

When we woke up the next morning, a strange pipe had washed up on our beach.

Weird.

Another beautiful sunrise.

 

The Beach

Since it was our last day, we decided to go to Airlie Gardens.

 We stopped at a charming restaurant called the Boathouse.

This is what happens when 

I try to take self photos:

Me: I always stick my head in front of yours!

Emily: I look terrible in that picture!You look great. You're not sticking your head out!

what happened:

:P

They had a really cute mini train track with little houses:

There was a huge 400 year old tree!!

A grazing gaggle of geese

the lake, which looked soooo much like crocodile territory.....

For Kelsie :)

Guess what. We got lost. :o|

But we got unlost. :)

There was a house made of cement and bottles....cool and wierd at the same time.

Emily looking gorgeous. :)

Evan and Dad and their new friend.

I love my family. :D

There was an adorable chapel that was awesome for taking pictures.

the one bummer: the doors were LOCKED!

Then it started raining buckets and we all go completely soaked.
It was awesome. :P

Then we drove home, and Adrea Emily and I did a photoshoot.

What happens when I tell Emily to pose.....

Adrea:

The Guys were fishing.

Now there's a shock.

Then we went to a mini golf place.

Dad won. :P


We had dinner at the Fish house.

gotta love the lighthouse salt and pepper shakers.

Our beach vacation is over. *sigh*

No more fishing....No more walking.....

(I'm sure you've all know by now i love taking pictures of weights...)

Good bye beach!
Until next year.

Oak Island: Day 5

We started the day with another morning walk.

In the tide pools in front of our house, we found a Seastar!!

After looking at him for a while we put him back in the ocean so no one could hurt him.

See that black thing under him? He's eating it!!!

Then we found a snail.

Then....we found a clam!

Then......We found a conch!

All of the above went into Adrea's bucket

.

which she was less than happy about. :P

When we got back we showed all of them to the guys

- who were fishing-

 and put them in the surf.

The clam opened and used its foot to push itself around!! It was amazing.

Emily and I had decided earlier that we *had* to make an awesome sand castle this year.

So we added a shell garden in the back. Just to be cool. :P

Adrea made this:

But the tide was coming in and it soon reduced our castle to a pile of shells.

Seagull feet -->  *grins*

And we saw dolphins!!!!!!

We were in the water, and I saw a fin and was like AAHHH!!!!

SHARK!!!!

but then i thought, Sharks don't travel in groups and they don't jump out of the water!

Dolphins!!!
They were so cool!
They were jumping really high out of the water, but i couldn't get a picture of one.
But it was awesome.
