Day 6-Tuesday

JP didn't really want to go to the pool or beach so we decided it would be a good day to do activities outside the house. So grandpa, Julie, John, JP, Jess, & I all loaded up & drove down to Ronake Island to the North Carolina Aquarium. It was really cool. It was creatures that live in the sound (fresh water) & the ocean (salt water). There was alligators in one tank that could swim right up to you & look at them through the glass. Also lots of fish & even a tank with a giant shark in it. Then they had an area where you could reach in & touch sting rays & other sea creatures. Both kids tried to touch them but their little arms werent long enough yet.

After there we headed to eat & Jess fell asleep. We stopped to eat at the Yellow Submarine & when we got her out she stayed asleep. I finally woke her up to eat. After we ate we dropped off grandpa & drove about an hour down to Cape Hatteras to see the lighthouse. When we got there we realized we couldnt go up because the kids weren't big enough & we couldn't carry them. JP was a little disappointed but soon said his stomach hurt so we loaded up & headed back home. We stopped & picked him up a kite which he picked out a pirate one.
After dinner we all loaded up & headed down about two miles to the Jeanette pier. Here people could fish off the side.
We got back & had ice cream again. Jess got her first ice cream cone & loved it! She was covered in it!
Kids were both exhausted after the day.
