Fort Picken's Beach


The last couple of days we have headed out to the beach at Fort Picken's (our favorite beach, but it has been closed since Ivan), today we took a picnic lunch and let the boys walk around the fort. While we were there Joey said it was boring, but on the way to the beach he said that it was pretty cool that something the old could still be around.

Vacation Pictures.

The Turner Family headed to Charlotte, NC. Kevin had a class for a week, so that he could teach AP Environmental in the fall. The boys and myself just joined him so that we could have some fun.
Luke watching a movie, this might be one of the first that he sat through
Joey was loving the movies.
Sunday we went to the Schiele Museum.
Joey was looking for gems. Luke hated this.

Monday the boys and I stumbled upon Ham's for lunch. Kids eat free and they ate like little pigs. They loved this place.
The boys love dogs and geese.
Both of them couldn't see the ducks and geese enough.
Luke would scream "There's my geese!!"
The men slept together on a pull out sofa.

Joey enjoyed dressing up.
Luke put this hat on for like 30 seconds and was done with dress up.
Joey can't say no to face painting.
Luke decided he'd get his face painted.
The Charlotte Nature Museum was an awesome place for Luke.
Joey could appreciate it also.

Luke wanted to be a bug.

The next day we went to the Carolina Raptor Center.
This place was super cool, we all really loved it.
Luke Turner was our guide, not Luke the eagle.

The men
Apparently there were a lot of bad guys here at the Raptor Center.
Who would have thought that a Bald Eagle would be named Luke?
After seeing the Raptors there were hungry boys.

We drove on back and found this pretty little lake. We tried to skip rocks. After the lake we drove to the Equestrian Center to see all the horses.
