So, every little beach bum needs a pet, and what better pet than a Hermit Crab?! Today we welcomed "Hermie", the oh-so-uniquely-named hermit crab, to our family. So far he has done.....well, not a whole lot. Ok, well he did crawl around and fall off of the table while we were cleaning and setting up his cage. Then later he climbed up on his little sponge, which was the highlight of our afternoon. I can hardly wait to see what tomorrow brings!! But seriously, the sweet part of the whole thing is how my oldest son is taking such good care of his pet. He's been checking on him periodically, reporting back to us how he's doing, making sure he has enough food and water. He's also very concerned that "he's bored Mom...I think he needs a friend". Looks like we're off to the overpriced tourist-y shop once again tomorrow to get a pick out a friend for "Hermie".
We visited and climbed the Currituck Lighthouse in Corolla this morning - 214 steps, 162 feet tall. It was quite an adventure. All of us made it safely up and down the winding staircase, even though the 5-year-old kept worrying that he would get "tower sick" from climbing such a tall tower. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking - a panoramic of Corolla and the Outer Banks beyond. I managed to skirt out of the souvenier shop with only $20.00 in MUCH-needed purchases, so I'd definitely call the day a success!
