We were blessed with a FREE stay at a house on Oak Island. We stayed there 2 summers ago compliments of one of Scott's students. He picked Mr. Dobbins as his favorite teacher that year, so his parents gifted us with 5 days at their beach house. We humbly asked to use it again, and they said "Yes". We stayed from Tuesday to Friday and had a great time. On Thursday, we went rode the Fort Fisher Ferry over to the Aquarium. It's an all day adventure waiting for and riding the ferry to and fro, but the boys enjoyed it. The best place was at the end of the island called "The Point". It's where the inlet waters meet the ocean, between Oak Island and Holden Beach. The water was calm and shallow, it was like swimming in a pool. Stephen was able to swim around with his floaties and enjoy the water. Silas was all over the place, digging in the sand, trying to catch fish with a net, and hunting shells. We stayed for 4 hours the first day we went, so needless to say our sunscreen wore out and we all got a little toasted! We went for 2 more hours the morning we left, so after cleaning the house where we stayed, we got on the road about 2pm and headed home. We took a detour by the Bennett's (Silas' bio great-grandparents) on the way home, so we arrived home tired and weary at 10pm!
Thanks so much to the Price family for blessing us with a little vacation!
