Enjoying the sand and water.

We did 2 big water activities. Ben took surfing lessons and the whole family went on a kayaking trip. We did it with a company called Kitty Hawk Kayak and Surf School, they were great. Both the tour and lesson were private (for a group price). Of course we also enjoyed the comfy temperatures, the beautiful views and the dolphin sightings.

On Kitty Hawk Beach.

Right after breakfast at Nags Head Beach.

Ben's surf lesson looked like it went really well (since I was only watching, that's about all I can say). Rhone and I just played on the beach and watch. There were also dolphins swimming in the area. They were beautiful.

Paddling hard. Catching a wave.

All tuckered out while Dad is surfing.

On our kayak trip we paddled through a Maritime forest. It was beautiful, we saw snakes, turtles, fish, and birds. We were a little worried about Rhone but he did great. He had his own little seat which he sat in until he got tired and restless. He put his hands in the water, straddled the seat to get a leg in the water, and paddled a little.

Getting ready to push off. Checking out the water. We were grateful for the strap on the back of his life jacket.

Ben's 1st try at surfing. You might wanna turn down the volume (I'm pretty loud).
