OBX '09 Day 3

Day 3 at the beach...ahh....
Ella was THROUGHLY worn out today and only spent about 1/2 hour on the beach. She was so tired that she couldn't even walk (so she said).

Mason got himself a skimboard and has been trying to learn how to do it - I'm just praying for no broken bones.

Silas has been doing "his run" up and down the beach - he wanted us to run with him but apparently we aren't enthusiastic enough for him. We don't move our arms and twist at the waist quite like he wants us to.
So far we've gotten a thunderstorm each day - it's created some very pretty evening skies. This looked like the heavens were opening up - it was really cool.

We ended up without electricity for about 3 or 4 hours after lightening hit some place close by. We didn't have candles and the 7/11 didn't have any either except for birthday candles so we used those...

Oh, so relaxing!!
