Big Kid kind of fun.....

Who said that parks were just for kids?

Certainly not us!

This is at the New River Marina playground where we stopped to dry off after our recent boating experience!

Of Course Isaac wasn't going to let us have all the fun!

I didn't get a picture of Kendall on the playground but she had lots of big kids fun herself. Here she is with her turtle (before it blew away and had to be rescued) on the New River.

On the road again.....

The kids and I are on our way back to western PA today to celebrate my grandparents 60th anniversary! So excited to be at my other home for a little bit. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up!

Before I forget!

So I told you a few days ago about getting all of the videos downloaded....here are a few of the older photos from the video camera too. Sorry for the quality....like I said it is a video camera not a regular digital one. Hope you enjoy!

Shackleford Island

We had a great time on Saturday at Shackleford Island. We opted to stay just 3 hours out there before our ferry cam back to get us but I think that with the kids that was probably just the perfect time! We had to hike a bit to see the wild horses but it was so worth it!

Of course we had to play in the sand and water some.

Isaac and I waiting for Ben & Kendall to scout out where the horses were.

Ok,ok not shackleford but I wanted to show you what my sweet husband brought home last week for me!

More pictures for you guys!

And we are off....

To Shackleford Island to hopefully see these wild horses. (And Kendall has requested that we bring home a baby horsie too!)

The beach at Shackelford Island.
If you have a craze over wildlife and adventure, Shackelford Island offers fantasies unusually found in regular beaches today. Deserted and exclusive, it would be hard to believe that an island like this is actually not inhabited by humans but by wild mares and ponies. They are the treasures, the main feature of the island.Wild as you would expect, the horses are innocent species living in a rich island that men discovered at the coast of North Carolina. They are sometimes called water-horses because of their freedom to roam around the dunes and marshes. They have the privilege to hop from one small channel between an island to another. Their home is such a free place that you would enjoy watching them once you decide to land and witness what their daily routines are like. Shackelford is an admirable place and the horses are the stars to look up to. People always said they have always been there, that even before humans near that area came forth, they were already there. They were thought too to have swam ashore, cluelessly seeing ships that have sunken from nature’s tough moods. They are believed to have weather past the test of time, leaving them alive, strong and healthy in the island, enjoying life and continually bringing forth more new ones.
