Outer Banks: Beach Walks

Walking on the beach in the evenings might have actually been my favorite part of this vacation. I loved going down and walking the mostly empty beach as the tide was coming in. The kids loved seeing how deep they could make their footprints in the wet sand. It was just a nice, relaxing way to walk off dinner and wind down for the day. Here are some of our beach walk pics.

A couple of the nights we went back down to the beach after dark to look for crabs. They were scrambling all over the beach in and out of the waves and the little holes they dig in the sand. I wasn't fast enough to catch...mostly cuz I wasn't sure I really wanted to grab one!?!? Ethan, with his quick reflexes, was able to scoop one up in the bucket. Pretty cute!
