 Of course we went to the beach often!  The best time was in the morning as there were usually dolphin swimming in the ocean and the water was so smooth looking.  The evenings were also nice as many people were out flying kites and walking the beach.  Graham found some small fish that washed on shore and decided he would throw them back into the ocean to feed the dolphin, which was very cute.  The water shifted temps various days, based on the wind, sometimes being chilly and then sometimes the perfect relief from the heat.  The week before, there had been a shark attack in the Outer Banks, further south from where we were, but that did not stop us. (maybe a little.....)

My parents, both deathly afraid of water, ventured further out into the ocean than they ever have.  Connor liked to watch the water, but Graham preferred the house pool.  He did enjoy an evening of kite flying as Wayne has a special kite for Graham that he likes to fly. 

The last day was probably the best day....perfect temperature all around and beautiful out.  This did not help the fact that we all were leaving soon.....
