We decided to celebrate the holiday a little early and headed to Carolina Beach for the morning/afternoon. Come to find out most of North Carolina had the same idea. Figures. We enjoyed a little picnic and Sophie got to dip her feet in the ocean, a first for our little tyke. She LOVES her beach gear and laying in the sand but isn't to fond of the water just yet. Oh, and don't take her hat and sunglasses off without asking!!
After several hours at the beach we then headed to the Fort Fisher Aquarium in Kure Beach. Sophie was fairly drained from the heat so we stayed long enough to check out the huge fish tanks, some turtles and an albino alligator.
We called it quits and headed home. I think Sophie's picture best explains how tired The Leary family was.
Happy 4th of July!! Hope you have a great day!!
