Topsail Day 5

Friday was our last day to go down to the beach.  Although there remained a double red flag, on Friday afternoon the waves were much calmer and we waded in the water a bit.


 After lunch we went to the pool for a little while.


 Mollie Grace jumped late on this shot.

 You can tell she didn't want to be left standing on the side in the next picture!

 Annie really wanted to fly a kite while we were at the beach.  We told her early in the week that we would fly the kite on Friday (once the winds from the storm had hopefully died down) so she kept saying, "Friday is Flyday."

Annie wrote her name in the sand all by herself.

We brought Annie's bike along with us but she rode on my bike down to the beach.  It's 3/4 mile ride.  On Friday after lunch she really wanted to ride her own bike.  We let John, Ben and Mollie Grace go ahead of us and made the slow trek down to the beach.  The shuttle driver passed us on a golf cart and told us he was running the shuttle soon.  If we didn't make it down there, he would stop for us.  We did not have to catch a ride on the shuttle, though.  Annie made it all the way down.  However, she still hasn't mastered braking.  When we arrived at the beach, I had to jump off my bike and throw it on the ground and catch her before she ran off the pavement onto the rocks and wrecked.  This picture is of us headed back to our campsite.  I think pedaling back was probably harder because she was tired from the ride down followed by an afternoon at the beach.

Saturday and Sunday were travel days.  We left Saturday morning and headed back to the hunting camp where we spent the night.  Sunday morning we drove home.
