We went to the NC coast for Labor Day. We usually make it down to the coast many times over the summer but sadly this year that was not the case. None the less we had a blast. We hit our usual haunts, Brits Donuts and the Boardwalk at Carolina Beach and certainly we made several trips Blue Reef- another chain of big box beach stores that Rick loves to go to where they sell everything from hermit crabs to miller lite bikinis (my personal favorite...) Several years ago we got banned from Blue Reef because Rick knocked over and broke a giant ceramic bust of a pirate. But, luckily for Rick, there is a whole new staff of young oblivious beach gals working the counter who have no idea who he is. He managed to go enough times (it is up the street from the house) that we came home with some miniature frogs in a very small glass box with florescent foliage. We also made our first trip around the lake in a paddle boat. This was Niko's first trip to the ocean and in true Pisces form, he loves the water!!! He couldn't get enough of it. He didn't even seem to mind all the sand in his crotch!! Rick and Ben are master boggie boarders too. They braved hurricane rough waters and caught some of the summers best waves.
