On Friday night, we scheduled a dolphin cruise with <a href="http://dolphincruises.net/">Dolphin Fun Dolphin Cruises</a>. We came in from the pool, got ready, and drove into town to a marina to check in for the boat ride. Lots of businesses and private citizens of Orange Beach keep their boats docked in the marinas in the many bays located inland. We had never seen so many boats in one place.</div>

Dolphin Fun Dolphin Cruises was chartered by Captain Dean, who is a school teacher. He charters dolphin cruises in the summer time and his wife Jean helps take care of scheduling and paperwork. He is very informative and really wants everyone to have a good time while on the boat. We thought a family from Iowa would be the farthest from home but were mistaken as a family from Germany was aboard! The kids put on life jackets (Charly got to hold the ship's mascot), Captain Dean gave the run down of rules, and we set off for Perdido Bay and the Alabama/Florida state line. </div>

Once in Perdido Bay, Captain Dean explained how our dolphin sightseeing would go. Often times, he charters into waters where he thinks dolphin are and is able to show many playing and jumping. However, we were sightseeing on the very first day of shrimping season! Which meant the bay was filled with shrimp boats. Captain Dean explained that this was the best time of year for dolphin because they will follow shrimp boats and feed off the spoils. Sometimes they will even chew holes in shrimp nets!</div>

We followed a few different shrimp boats for a little while and saw some dolphin from a distance trailing behind. After 20 minutes or so, we found one small boat being trailed by a mother dolphin and her baby! Captain Dean explained that while we could bounce from boat to boat and see lots of dolphin, we were going to stick with this one because it was a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Captain Dean thought the baby dolphin was only 3 weeks old. The closer we got to the mother and her baby, we could even see faint stripes still on the baby (baby dolphin are born with striped fur). Captain Dean said that she had to have been born very late in the season. </div>

The baby mimicked the mother in everything she did. Captain Dean explained that the baby would stay close to the mother for 5 years while the mother taught it everything she knew! She would maybe only have one more baby within that time span. </div>

It is illegal for cruises and fishermen to "feed" the dolphin but the shrimp boat we befriended pulled it's net out of the water and tossed it's spoil (anything that wasn't shrimp) back into the water. We cheered on the mother and her baby while they fed right up by our boat. Charly and Hayes were in awe. </div>

On our way back to Orange Beach, we stopped by a trap to see if anything was inside. We were told that often times these traps are filled with sea creatures but our luck only brought one blue crab. Charly and Hayes refused to hold it, but wanted pictures with it.</div>

The dolphin cruise ended with a water war. People climbed to the top deck and some stayed on the main deck and the two groups hashed it out. Charly and Hayes wanted nothing to do with it so we stayed inside and watched the fun. It was intense and probably would have been a bit much for the kids. </div>

We pulled into the marina just after 8:00 pm and ate overlooking the bay at <a href="http://www.tackyjacks.com/">Tacky Jack's,</a> a popular Orange Beach restaurant built up on the water. We were all exhausted and crashed pretty early when we got back to the condo. </div>

Our condo looked out over the Gulf of Mexico. In the front of our condo complex were a series of bays and marinas were locals and businesses kept their fishing boats. Each morning, those marinas would empty into the Gulf for day-long fishing excursions. It was kind of fun to watch all these boats scatter into the Gulf each morning.</div>

The swimming pool had become Charly and Hayes's favorite place to be so each visit to the beach was bookended by a visit to the pool. Kelli and I had to admit, it was kind of relaxing. Especially when returning from the beach. It gave us all and opportunity to clean the sand off us and cool down. In the morning however, Kelli and I just wanted to get to the beach while Charly and Hayes just wanted to swim!</div>

It is so much fun watching Charly and Hayes's friendship grow. They truly are best of friends. They drive each other crazy at times but would fight like crazy for each other any day. When you are isolated in a new place you are unfamiliar with, that friendship only strengthens. Not only did it make Kelli and I proud, but happy that we are able to provide them with these experiences. Charly has a rock solid photographic memory and remembers things even from our Michigan vacation very clearly. After watching Pixar's <i>Inside Out,</i> we hope some of their "core memories" are being stored away from these special locations.</div>

Like Day Two, we spent more time than expected on the beach. We stopped at the pool for a quick dip before heading up to the condo for lunch. We snacked and took our time and then decided to forgo the beach and revisit the pool for a swim. </div>

Looking back, having lunch each day at our condo overlooking the beach, was some of our favorite memories. Charly and Hayes loved settling in and relaxing and being able to look over our balcony and keep an eye on our beach chairs and umbrella and watch the beach and the pool made us feel connected to Orange Beach. </div>

Charly and Hayes were more reluctant to return to the beach each day, unlike Kure Beach where they were begging to go back as soon as we left. Kelli and I believe it was the pool's fault. We did not have access to a pool in Kure. In Orange Beach we had to walk through a pretty nice swimming pool to get to our beach each day. That was torture for the kids! But once we were on the beach, all was forgotten and they had a blast! Plus, we stopped back and spent plenty of time in the pool too!</div>

We swam in the pool for a while then called it a day. We were excited about eating seafood and had a list of restaurants planned. The young couple we talked to at Moe's the night before suggested <a href="http://www.shrimpbasket.com/">Shrimp Basket</a>, which was on my list and an older couple we talked to on the beach also suggested it. They seemed to know what they were talking about. So we ate at Shrimp Basket. They were right! For the price, you won't find bigger portions or fresher seafood. It was awesome, but Hayes fell asleep at the table!</div>

When we got back to the condo we walked the beach and took some family pictures. We try to do this each vacation and love to look back at them. Charly and Hayes were awesome!</div>

After a nice night's sleep, Day 2 began with a dozen donuts from <a href="http://www.citydonutob.com/">City Donut</a>, the #1 rated "restaurant" in Orange Beach according to Trip Advisor. City Donuts was located in a small strip mall just across the street from our condo but the line was already out the door by 7 am. The kids loved them though so it was all worth it!</div>

Charly and Hayes were funny. They loved their time on the beach, but unlike North Carolina, when we would leave the beach, they were not pining to go back. They loved our "hotel" and they really loved the pool! In fact, we noticed this was common among many families. The pool was far more popular than the beach. But we didn't drive 16 hours to swim in a pool, so Kelli and I made sure we spent plenty of time on the beach, and like I said, once they were on the beach, they loved playing in the sand and waves. </div>

The colors on the beach were so much more vivid than we remember in Michigan or North Carolina. You could see shades of dark blue, green, and turquoise in the Gulf. While I would have thought I'd prefer a more isolated scene like Kure Beach last summer, condo-city was more picturesque than I had been giving it credit for. </div>

One problem we were faced with though were jellyfish! The Gulf shoreline was loaded with them and no one quite understood why. Many locals said this was never a problem. We heard excuses of mating season and storms off shore driving them in, but whatever the excuse be, the jellyfish made playing around in the water a bit tricky.<br />
<br />
So using the cheap net Kelli bought for the kids at CVS the night before, I began scoping out the area where we were hanging out and scooping out any jellyfish I could find. I saw a local doing this and asked him about it. He cautioned to stay clear of their tentacles but said that the tops won't sting. Once you scoop the whole jellyfish, dig a small hole in the sand and bury it. It soaks up the sand and dies quickly. Between he and I, we scooped out nearly 50 jellyfish making the water a little more safer to wade around in. But we still had to use caution for most of the day.<br />

As in, it was planned a little over a week before it happened. We kind of knew where we wanted to go, just had a difficult time pulling the trigger. We finally got a few quotes from places we were happy with and decided to make a go for it.<br />

We have been blessed as parents with well behaved children in vehicles. It's so easy to save money on vacations and drive because Charly and Hayes have always traveled so well. While Hayes had his moments, mostly because he is struggling to stay asleep lately, this year was no different. They slept through the night, watched a few movies when they woke up, and worked through a number of activities and games Kelli planned for them.</div>

I drove through Iowa and Missouri in the middle of the night and hit Memphis, Tennessee at 7 in the morning. Ugh! We planned on a picnic lunch at a lake in Mississippi but we (I) couldn't find it! So we settled for a different state park, Clarkco State Park just outside of Quitman, Mississippi. </div>

Clarkco was impressive! It sits on over 815 acres, has lots of shelter, tall trees, a massive lake, a nice playground for the kids, and a splashpad. It was good to stretch our legs and walk around somewhere so picturesque but it was sweltering hot! 98 degrees! </div>

After Clarkco, we had a 3 hour drive to the Gulf Shores. Traffic was slow on the Mississippi and Alabama highways but picked up in Mobile, Alabama as we reached it's Bay and (finally!) an interstate just outside of the Gulf Shores area.<br />
<br />
After spending over 16 hours in the van (not counting stops), we were all a little ready to see the Gulf. We dropped our bags off at the condo after checking in, and were down on the beach in no time!<br />

Personally, I loved the remote feel of Kure Beach, North Carolina last year and my initial feelings of Orange Beach (Gulf Shores) was that it was busier than I was anticipating. Instead of unique, colorful beach homes, the shore is lined with towering condominiums. It was a feeling I got used to pretty quickly, and came to really enjoy actually. </div>

It had been over a year since any of us had seen water like this, and instantly, we realized just what we had missed and why we were longing for another beach vacation. We had enjoyed the clear water of Lake Michigan, the frothy waves of the Atlantic Ocean, and now we could have fun in the stunning aqua color of the Gulf of Mexico. </div>

We built sandcastles, we ran in the waves, we played catch, but mostly we just admired the scene and looked forward to our next few days in Orange Beach. </div>

This is the view from our 6th floor unit balcony. We ate all our lunches out here each day in Orange Beach and became rather fond of this site each morning greeting us. </div>

We hung out on the beach the rest of that first afternoon and decided to check out <a href="http://www.moesoriginalbbq.com/lo/orange-beach/">Moe's Original BBQ</a> on Perdido Beach Blvd. We were excited for all the seafood options the Gulf Shores had to offer, but also wanted to eat some BBQ while in Alabama. Moe's was rated #2 on Trip Advisor in Orange Beach and we agreed. It was awesome! We spent a good amount of time chatting with a young couple from Birmingham at Moe's (who were used to southern BBQ and confirmed how good Moe's was). </div>

We went crab hunting on the beach when we returned at night. Crab hunting is a bit of a tradition in the Gulf Shores. Troves of families come out to the beach at night with flashlights hunting for ghost crabs, small white crabs that come out when the sun goes down and blend in with the sand. After a little while of searching, and not knowing exactly what we were looking for, Charly and I spotted not one, but two! We caught them in our nets, the kids had fun examining them, and then we let them go and called it a night. </div>

We couldn't wait for the next few days of relaxing in the sun and after the long trip in the van, fell asleep pretty easily.</div>

We brought the kids to Kelli's 20-week appointment so they could see their brother or sister for the first time. Charly was entranced by the situation and Hayes was bored. He thought the baby looked like an alien. "That's not my baby," he said over and over.</div>

Grandma Gail passed away on New Years Day, 2015.<br />
<br />
At 92 years-old, she was a woman that I had begun to think of as indestructible. A number of things come to mind when reminiscing about her... I laugh thinking back to her snapping at all 18 grandchildren as we took turns flipping the ceiling fan on and tossing wrapping paper into it during Christmas time. I can't tell you the number of times I have tried making eggs over easy in the morning, only to scrape them off the pan and into the garbage disposal because they just never quite taste as good as they do in Grandma's kitchen. I remember her hugging me with teary eyes one Sunday morning and thanking me for the wedding thank-you she had received in the mail from Kelli and I. I smile thinking back to how happy we were that she was able to be at our home for Charly's first birthday. I love how Charly has to carefully place all the ornaments Grandma Gail has made her on our Christmas tree because they are some of her favorites.<br />
<br />
When Alzheimer's began to take Grandpa Warren's mind, I was a college freshman and I stubbornly refused to see him in that state. I had my picture of who Grandpa was and I didn't want his Alzheimer's to confuse that. The fact that I could have visited him a few more times before he died, but selfishly kept my distance, still eats at me today.<br />
<br />
When Dad called on New Years Eve to tell me Grandma had taken a turn for the worse, my gut instinct was to stay at home. She was the Energizer Bunny. I didn't want to see her lying in that hospital bed. Dying. That's not how I wanted to remember her. But I knew I had to go. Even for just a short while. I didn't want to make the same mistake I feel like I did with Grandpa.<br />
<br />
It was a visit that will stay with me for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
She gave Taylor a hard time about getting married. She told stories about Grandpa buying her screwdrivers (the vodka and orange juice kind.) And after a while, with nearly a century-worth of stories on her mind, she just closed her eyes and said, "I have been so blessed."<br />
<br />
She felt so blessed in that moment not just because of all the memories she was thinking back to, but because of all the family that was surrounding her, literally, in her hospital room. She looked right at me when I had entered the room and was surprised and happy that I was there, as she was with everyone she saw in her final few days.<br />
<br />
Ironically, the image of her in her hospital bed that I was so scared of remembering, is now the image of her that I never want to forget. Our presence there, and her memories of us, made her feel blessed in her final moments, and that is an incredible, powerful feeling to hold onto.Jordan Henrichshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13222765567925351668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746161141366182852.post-29502017013954778852014-12-27T22:24:00.000-08:002014-12-27T22:24:12.724-08:00"'Autumn' is Another Word for 'Fall'"Recently Charly learned that 'Autumn' is another word for 'Fall.' We love this time of year because it's full of fun traditions: Prairie du Chien with Papa Denny and Grandma Carol, football, raking leaves, and carving pumpkins.<br />

We used to go to the park all the time, to make up for not having a swingset. Now they beg to go to "the diamonds" to show off their talent!<br />
<br />
There are a few baseball diamonds behind the UNI-Dome that are not used much anymore but that UNI still upkeeps. It is peaceful and this summer it became Charly and Hayes's favorite place.<br />

Maybe someday, we'll be watching one of these little ballplayers play for the Panthers!Jordan Henrichshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13222765567925351668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746161141366182852.post-90582060346983778652014-09-27T21:26:00.001-07:002014-09-27T21:26:43.473-07:00We Heart Decorah<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few years ago, Charly wanted to see a waterfall. Grandma Carol told us there was one in Decorah. She would know, she was a Luther grad. We took Charly (and a 6-month old Hayes) to Decorah, found <b>Dunning Springs</b>, and a tradition began. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The waterfall at Dunning Springs remains one of our favorites, but as our visits grow, our lists of must-sees does too! <b>Toppling Goliath</b> is my favorite brewery on the planet so a stop there never disappoints, <b>The Whippy Dip</b> is a fun ice cream stop as is <b>Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Company</b>, Kelli made friends at the <b>Red-Roxy Quilt Shop</b> back when she was looking to start a new hobby, and <b>Mabe's Pizza</b> is some of our favorite pizza around. </div>

This year, we added the fish hatchery to our list. The kids loved it!</div>

Today, Charly attended her first day of Pre-K! Last year, Charly did preschool two times a week at Blessed Beginnings, only in the afternoons for a few hours. This year she got into Kelli's school, Southdale, and will go five days a week from 8:45 in the morning till 1:50 in the afternoon! She will be a busy girl, but something tells us she will love it!<br />

Last year, we had one of the only crying children at Blessed Beginnings on the first day. This year, we had one of the only non-crying children at Pre-K! Kelli thought Charly's first day of preschool last year was one of the saddest days we've ever experienced. But today, was lighter. Happier. She loves her teacher and had fun. She even told her teacher all about Papa Curt shooting a raccoon on his deck!<br />
<br />
She's a pro!<br />

On the fifth day of our vacation, we drove our car onto a boat and visited Southport.<br />
<br />
Southport is a fun little fishing village in southern North Carolina. In order to get there, we had to drive our van onto a ferry and take a 30-minute boat ride. We had debated Southport all vacation. Kelli really wanted to visit it. I thought it sounded like a waste of time! Part of my trepidation was the ferry. We took a <a href="http://henrichsjk.blogspot.com/2013/07/day-two-mackinac-island-pt-1.html">ferry to Mackinac Island</a> last summer in Michigan but did not have to drive our vehicle onto a boat. I didn't know anything about this and was just a little apprehensive.<br />
<br />
In the end, we decided that we needed a morning away from the beach for just a little variety. The older couple we befriended on the beach strongly recommended it as did the owners of our cottage. I skipped out of my online UNI class a bit early so we could catch the ferry in time.<br />
<br />
Turns out, Kelli was right. Southport was a perfect getaway. The ferry was easy, albeit crammed with vehicles. But it was a fun experience. Our plan was to walk around the town, eat some lunch, and return to Kure in plenty of time to still do the beach in the afternoon.<br />

<br />
After we drove the van off the ferry and into town, we decided we were hungry and wanted to get lunch in before the kids became tired. We chose to eat at Fishy Fishy, a cool little cafe on the Cape Fear river. We learned that Southport is used by television and film studios often to emulate "Cape Cod-like" settings, sometimes even Cape Cod itself. The television show Revenge on ABC actually leased Fishy Fishy and totally transformed it into a completely different restaurant for the show. When it was finished filming, it changed it back to Fishy Fishy.<br />

There were so many seating options at Fishy Fishy. The cafe was sprawling. There was an outdoor bar area. There was an indoor dining area and an outdoor dining area along a dock. Of course we wanted to sit outside and our table was at the end of the covered dock amidst the sailboats and seagulls. There were even boat slips for boaters to park and enter the cafe from the back docks. The atmosphere was really cool.<br />
<br />
Another popular restaurant in Southport is The Frying Pan. It was just down the road from Fishy Fishy and behind The Frying Pan was a neat spot of shore where the water from the Cape Fear River lapped in calmly providing a quieter experience than the beach in Kure. There were a bunch of exposed posts from an old dock that the kids loved to play near and climb on.<br />

Next we walked down to the Southport Riverwalk. The town was getting ready for a Fourth of July festival so it was crowded with visitors. Having learned from Mackinac Island last summer, we pushed the kids in umbrella strollers instead of carrying them! After about a half-mile walk, we reached a long fishing dock and beach filled with shells. Charly and Hayes had been gathering quite the collection in Kure, so they had a lot of fun filling their pockets in Southport!<br />

When our pockets were overflowing with shells, we decided it was time to head back to the van and drive to the ferry. We still wanted to have plenty of time to hang out on the beach, and with the kids needing a nap, we timed it well. With the kids asleep in their strollers, Kelli grabbed an ice cream cone and I grabbed a soda before we loaded in the van and drove to the ferry.<br />

While Hayes slept in the van on the ferry, Charly woke up and wanted to go look at the water. I carried her to the front of the boat to find people throwing food in the air for the seagulls. As cool as it was to see them fill the sky, Charly became a little freaked and I felt like we were in the movie <i>The Birds</i>. We went back to the van to rest before arriving back in Kure.Jordan Henrichshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13222765567925351668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746161141366182852.post-36340670670508761432014-07-27T20:02:00.000-07:002014-07-27T20:02:21.694-07:00Kure Beach Fishing Pier (Kure Beach: Day 3, Pt. 2)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Kure Beach Fishing Pier is where we spent a few of our nights on Kure Beach.<br />

The Kure Beach Fishing Pier is actually the oldest pier on the entire Atlantic Coast, not just in North Carolina. There's history behind this pier. It was originally built in 1923. It was originally built to draw in visitors from nearby Wilmington. That original pier was only 120 feet long. The pier collapsed and was destroyed within the first year!<br />
<br />
It was so popular in that first year though, that it was rebuilt even stronger the next year, in 1924. This one doubled the original in length, stretching out to the Atlantic 240 feet. This pier was built more solid and lasted over thirty years. However, in 1954, Hurricane Hazel washed it away. It was rebuilt even stronger (and <i>longer</i>, as it was now 711 feet), in 1955 and a restaurant and tackle shop were added. The area around the pier became a hub of activity in the next 40 years as more restaurants were added and the tackle shop expanded to include a large patio overlooking the Atlantic and gift shops and locker rooms.<br />
<br />
In 1996, Hurricane Bertha took down the pier again. When it was rebuilt it was raised 26 feet above sea level and reinforced more than ever before. In 1998, another hurricane swept through Kure but the pier survived. It currently sits at 720 feet long and has survived 18 years strong (lasting through more hurricanes than any of the previous piers). Here's hoping the current pier is the strongest one yet!<br />

The kids cooperated and took some pictures together, then wanted to go run in the waves. We hadn't eaten yet, so we didn't want them to play too much, but that didn't stop Hayes. Within 5 minutes the kid was soaked!</div>

While the kids were playing in the sand a lady from above on the pier began yelling down at us. We couldn't hear her because the waves were loud. "Sharks!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everyone on the pier above were looking out into the water, about 100 yards directly in front of us in the ocean. We were just playing in the sand at the shoreline, not too deep and didn't feel in danger (well, Kelli did). To make Kelli feel safer, we decided to head up to the pier and check out the view from above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We saw the sharks clearly, two of them, circling about 100 yards from the shore. Both were 5-6 feet long. While the locals see plenty of sharks and dolphins, a few confirmed that these two were big and legit. Kelli was freaked out, even 20-some feet above them, but Charly and Hayes couldn't stop looking. At one point a wave swept in and the sharks rode it. I said "the sharks like waves." Hayes looked at me then yelled down to the sharks, "Hi!" waving vigorously. </div>

Each morning we noticed a guy walking barefoot down our street to check out the beach. He would always return a few minutes later, walking barefoot back the direction he came from. When we went to the beach on the morning of Tuesday, July 1 (our third day in Kure and our fifth away from home) we saw the mystery guy... with a surfboard in hand! He was a surfer, checking on the condition of the waves each morning. </div>

We set our chairs in the sand and had just emptied our beach toys when a fun retired couple set their chairs right next to ours. After spending a few days on the beach, I found this to be a little odd because Kure was big enough yet remote enough to keep your space. And this seemed to be the custom each day. As the beach filled up, beachgoers would look for places to stretch out and not crowd others. But not this couple! They practically cozied right up!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The night before, Kelli was really disappointed that she didn't ask someone to snap a family picture. She vowed to get more as the trip winded down. The retired guy must have read her mind, because no sooner had he set up his chair, he was asking me out-of-the-blue if I'd like him to take a family picture. He noticed our camera and continued to talk to us on and off all morning. They were locals and were impressed we made the drive from Iowa. They had lived in Georgia and owned a vacation rental in Myrtle Beach but sold it when they retired so they could build a home and move to Kure Beach permanently. They gave us some good tips of things to do before we headed home.</div>

There is not much more to say about our days spent on the beach. This is pretty much how our days were spent. We go to the beach. We build and destroy sandcastles on the beach. We run in the water on the beach. We go home and rest. We go back to the beach. We saw so many of the same vacationing families on the beach. With Kure Beach being so remote, we began to feel at home there. Kelli and I both agreed that having a "home" to come back to each day, instead of living out of a hotel, was definitely the way to go for a beach vacation! We both agreed that this was the type of place we could retire to someday!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kids were just in awe of the water, and that feeling never tired. Each day when we stepped foot on the beach, it was like they were seeing it again for the first time all over. </div>

Two hours was the max for the kids though. As much as they loved the sand and the sun and the surf, after about two hours they would begin to noticeably drag. They moved slower. They wanted to be held. Hayes would want his pacifier (yep, haven't broken him of that yet). We'd venture back to the cottage for some lunch and then return when they were rested for another few hours. Then we would rest some more, and go for dinner and walk the pier.

The convenient location of the cottage made coming and going to the beach easy. The afternoon brought on more of the same from the morning. Beach. Sandcastles. Waves. The temperature was warmer in the afternoon (most days reached 84-85 degrees) and the surf was more calm. The colors of the beach in the afternoon were so much brighter to, as opposed to the muted colors in the mornings. In the morning we would set up high on the shore because of the violent waves. In the afternoon, much of the shore that was covered in the mornings with surf, was free to explore for shells. </div>

Charly loved to let the waves come as close to her toes as possible, then turn in a flash and run away. The hilarious part though... as she turned to run, her right arm would swing out in a pinwheel motion. The picture below kind of shows this.<br />
<br />
The picture above shows how she sometimes liked to wait and jump into the waves at the last second instead.<br />

Sandcastles were a bit easier to build in the afternoon, because of the calm waves. We would try and build them fast, close to the shoreline, and see how many we could build. I think the most we built before the waves washed over them (or before Hayes smashed them) was 30. This made Charly feel bad so Kelli or I would try and entertain Hayes some other way. Charly takes her sandcastle building pretty seriously when she's on the beach.</div>

After a few hours in the afternoon sun, we walked back to the cottage and got ready for dinner in Kure Beach. Kure Beach is only a town of 2,000 people, so there aren't many restaurant options in town. The options that are there however, are all apparently good so choosing one that night was tricky. The restaurants in town are also all located in the same block near the Kure Beach Fishing Pier. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We decided to eat at Freddie's Restaurante, one of the most popular restaurants on all of Pleasure Island (what the locals call the much larger Carolina Beach and Kure Beach). There was a 45 minute wait for a table, so we put our name in and walked down to the beach to explore the pier.</div>

The pier was impressive and picturesque. Especially at dusk. It was very calm and peaceful. The kids played in the sand, we snapped some pictures, and Hayes fell in the water again. Before we had a chance to walk the pier, our buzzer made a noise and informed us that a table was ready. Our 45 minute wait turned into only a 20 minute wait.<br />
<br />
Freddie's was great Italian eating, but pricey! It was kind of a beachy, dive, family-run restaurant. The service was great. The Yuengling beer was delicious! Charly loved her spaghetti and Hayes had difficulty sitting still. Not even the iPad would entertain him. He wanted to see some "fish!" So we paid our bill and went back to the pier before the sun completely disappeared for the night.<br />

We weren't entirely sure what kind of day (or week) we were in store for, after the periods of torrential rain our first afternoon in Kure Beach. We were so exhausted from driving the last few days that we all slept in. But as we woke, we were pretty sure there was sunlight streaming in through the blinds. Instinctively, I grabbed my phone to check the weather before looking out the windows for myself. Our week of clouds and rain, had turned into sunny forecasts and mid-80s! We ate a quick breakfast and walked across the street to the beach.</div>

When small kids are involved, there really is no relaxing on the beach. Kelli and I both packed books to read (Kelli, for fun; me, for class) but never once brought them to the beach. If we weren't carrying Hayes out into the water (only to have Charly want to go too) we were building sandcastles for Charly (only to have Hayes knock 'em down). There would be brief moments where the two would become lost in digging sand or searching for shells where Kelli and I would quietly sit down to just relax, but we'd be discovered by them almost immediately! Seeing the look on their faces however, would always remind ourselves of why we wanted to provide them with these experiences in the first place. Besides, who wants to <i>relax</i> on a beach when you can <i>play</i> on a beach?</div>

The surf was much more wild in the morning than the afternoon. The waves were larger, more foamy, and invaded the shoreline more violently in the early-to-late morning. It was loud too! In order to build sandcastles we had to be high on the beach, otherwise the waves would wash them away. Although the kids thought that was pretty fun to watch too!</div>

The loud noises the waves created and just the general power of it all wore the kids out pretty easy. They would play and play in the water and then go relax in the sand. Then they would play and play in the water again and then want to relax in the sand. Two hours at a time was about all they could handle before they were ready to return to the cottage for a break.</div>

We ate lunch at the cottage each day to save on some money and time. That first day on the beach though, we were all feeling the fatigue. Charly and Hayes ate their lunches quickly and then crashed for a two hour nap. Kelli and I did too! We needed our rest to keep up with them on the beach in the afternoon.<br />

We made it to our cottage just in time before another blast of rain came into Kure Beach. The kids napped while Kelli and I worried that our days in Kure would be drowned out by rain. We were in the midst of a flash flood warning and rain was filling up the street outside our cottage. On top of it all, the weather looked cloudy with a chance of rain every day we were scheduled to be in North Carolina. </div>

The Twins v. Rangers game was on FOX so we waited out the rain and talked about dinner plans. After an hour or so, the pounding of rain on our roof subsided and we pulled up the blinds on the window to find some sun peeking out from behind the clouds. The kids woke up and we wandered outside to explore the beach just outside our front door.</div>

The beach scene at dusk made us forget all about the rain we had just experienced. Other vacationers were coming out to explore too and the same peaceful feeling we were experiencing was evident on their faces as well. Little did we know it at that time, but this beach would be our home for the next few days. Once Charly and Hayes laid their eyes on it (and once the weather decided to cooperate), it was hard to talk them into doing anything else! They were obsessed with the sand, the shells, the waves, everything!</div>

We left our Chapel Hill hotel to cloudy, overcast skies. That frustrated Charly. The weather forecast looked rainy all week and we were doing our best not to be bummed. Charly prayed <i>A LOT</i> at night that God would grant us some warm, sunny beach weather. She wanted to build some sandcastles! So thanks to the clouds for the frowny faces.</div>

We had a three-hour drive from Chapel Hill to Kure Beach and we couldn't check in to our cottage until 4 pm. We had a few things planned, if the weather cooperated. A walk on the Kure Beach Pier to check out the fishermen and fisherwomen sounded like fun and rain or shine we had planned on going to the Fort Fisher Aquarium. Since it was downpouring when we arrived on Pleasure Island, every vacationer in Kure Beach had the same idea! The aquarium was packed and it took multiple loops around the parking lot to find a spot.</div>

All of Charly's praying paid off because when we wrapped up the aquarium, the rain had stopped and the East Coast humidity was drying everything off. So before we checked into the cottage, we stopped at the beach just outside the aquarium. </div>

The rain had swept through Kure Beach and was moving off into the Atlantic. The kids both remembered the beaches in Michigan from last year but I don't think either were expecting the wild waves that ocean water brings. Neither were Kelli or I!</div>

Charly loved the waves but was more reserved than her little brother. She would run to where the waves foamed up at the shore and then sprint away from them screaming. Hayes could not be contained. We took our eyes off of him for one second only to turn around and find him on all fours in the midst of the waves! From then on all week, we couldn't keep the kid out of the water!</div>

Not that it would have mattered to our soaked son, but it looked like one more round of showers was heading our way so we decided to find our cottage and check in before we got rained on.</div>

Since we had so much fun in Michigan last summer, we decided to plan another beach vacation for this summer. Kelli had her heart set on Myrtle Beach, SC but upon researching we both found Myrtle Beach to be a bit commercialized. Sticking with the same area of the country, we settled on the southern coast of North Carolina. Kure Beach on Pleasure Island to be exact. </div>

Pictures were not allowed while we toured the factory, and they seemed pretty serious about it, so there were a lot of cool features of the process that we couldn't document (like burning the logo on the bats and sealing the bats). There were a lot of summer camp tours with small kids and Hayes swung his free mini-bat from the tour a little too close to a giant glass display of Babe Ruth memorabilia, so we headed outside to the World's Largest Baseball Bat!</div>

When we got home, Charly stepped on a toothpick. It was traumatizing for all of us. Kelli didn't trust just taking her to the ER and I couldn't get it out with a tweezers (plus I seemed to be causing her more pain attempting). Our pediatrician was kind enough to drop everything and fit us in. We rushed her to the hospital and our pediatrician couldn't get it out either! He had to call a podiatrist. On a Friday.<br />
<br />
Of course he was out of town so his resident was going to come take a look. Three hours later, a Zac Efron-look alike walked in and Charly was all smiles. He performed a minor procedure (which involved giving her three shots) to get the toothpick out (which ended up being close to half of a toothpick) and bandaged her little foot up. He was awesome with Charly, as was our nurse and doctor. Charly was a trooper. She cried a lot but never once flinched her foot or leg all the while people were operating on her. Everyone marveled at how strong and brave she was.<br />
<br />
She walked out of that office with more suckers and stickers than any child could ever need!<br />

On Friday, May 9, I walked during Commencement services at UNI. It's not quite official, but it sure felt like it! In July, I will wrap up classes and earn my Administration License. A lot of family and friends came and celebrated with me.</div>

Over the last few years, Kelli has endured a lot. Especially on Monday nights. I can count the number of nights I went to bed before midnight over the last two years on two hands. Kelli and the kids have helped me keep my eye on the ball while coffee helped keep my eyes open. Through everything, Kelli has been nothing but understanding and supportive.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My colleagues and cohort members have also helped me keep my sanity along the way. My poor colleagues put up with my regular ranting and theorizing while my cohort members put up with my constant checking-in and need to be reassured before submitting assignments. I have made some truly great friends these last two years; Educational leaders that I will always stay in touch with and lean on in the future.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now to see what that future holds...</div>
