Emerald Isle Spring 2016 -- Part III

Since it rained a couple of the days we were there, we did a puzzle!

Cherryl and I found this tiny, baby sand crab while we were sea-shell searching.

We got a four-generations photo! I'm so glad Bear has such a wonderful grandmother (Nonna) and great grandmother (Gumbie)! It was nice to be with them and get to celebrate Mother's Day a little bit early.

My sweet roommate for the week. 

From our afternoon in Swansboro

Our last morning at the beach -- enjoying some breakfast and ocean air on the deck.

Emerald Isle Spring 2016 -- Part II

Just a few more pictures of my favorite place...

This beautiful Great Egret just flew up and landed on our deck one morning. He hung around for about 30 minutes and was just as nice as could be. 

Cherryl stayed out on the deck with our new friend the whole time -- the rest of us were a little too nervous for that. 

While we were there, our Bear turned 10 months old. This was the best picture I could get of this wiggly, crawling, sweet boy!

This is more indicative of the attempt at photos. He's on the move, y'all!

Auntie Cherryl did a great job of keeping Bear entertained and happy. Larry was pretty much done with our day of shopping in Beaufort. 

This is my favorite store in Swansboro -- Poor Man's Hole. It's like a real-life version of I Spy.
