Satchel On the Beach!

We had fun at Carrot Island toward the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Our boat was docked at the Morehead City docks and our friends picked us up in their power boat (definitely gets you there quicker than a sailboat!). Satchel had a total blast on the beach. We knew he would probably really love it this year but just didnt know how much! He was repeatedly squealing with laughter!He ran back and forth carrying sticks to the ocean and throwing them in. He had no fear trying to crawl in the water and walk deeper. He kept bending down and sticking his face in the water over and over then coming up laughing while it dripped down. the funniest thing to him was to pick up mud and smear it on Diron's leg, squeal, and yell "gross!". Then Diron would rinse it off with the water and say "dont you put that mud on me!yuck!" This went on forever! Satchel was so thrilled to be able to pick up as much sand, shells, rocks, etc and throw it over and over into the ocean. How ever much he wanted, for how long he wanted....this was Heaven for him!!!
