The last summer blast

We took one last trip to the beach in August to get ready for school. It was an exciting week full of great memories. While we there Hurrican Earl decided to try to come to shore. I've never been in a hurricane and now I can say it is an amazing thing. The picture doesn't do the ocean justice. It was very choppy and the wind was crazy. The salt in the air is impressive also. You felt slimy. Sidenote: Christian is looking at a big German Shepherd that a couple had brought with them to check out the ocean. It was a very nice dog but all the boys were unsure.
Christian!
The night before we left Diego found this tree frog. This poor frog then became a "pet" and a frog-in-training. Not sure for what but they were trying to get the poor thing to do all sorts of tricks. Diego is convinced he taught the frog to "stay." Here Diego is drawing the frog and the frog actually stayed!

Even though I feel quite jealous looking at these beach pics, I'm comforted by the fact that it surely couldn't have been as much fun without us, right? =) hee hee

I love the boys' matching OBX shirts!
