Mom's Birthday Fun

We went to the beach to celebrate my birthday a few weeks ago.  Although we had to navigate some high water to get there, we had a great time fishing, visiting the aquarium, exploring Fort Macon, and eating some great seafood.
Kate's fish is much bigger than Mommy's!
Fishing with cheese crackers.  Kate thought the fish would like them!
Kate and Matthew enjoyed watcing the fish, otters, and turtles at the aquarium.
 Exploring Fort Macon and defending it from the Pirates was a fun adventure.  We found that it was easier to explain protecting the shore from Pirates than trying to explain the American Civil War to a three year old. She, of course, asked a million questions about both!  Don't worry Kate, we will make sure you understand the Civil War by the time you're six.

Happy Belated Birthday, Maria!!!! Wow, I can't get over how much Matthew looks just like his mama. I love those cheeks. We need to talk soon.

Love,
