Buxton and Frisco

We’ve had some fantastic beach days this week. So many in fact, I missed several days of posting here. Too much fun at the beach, well you can never have too much beach though, can you? Most days we headed to Frisco, which is a south facing beach, but yesterday (Thursday) it was a bit cooler, a great day for a walk on the beach. Buxton is where Hatteras Light is. We walked way out to the point. Here’s a map of Cape Hatteras. See the little tail at the very bottom before the island bends, where it says Cape Hatteras…that’s where we walked to.

There were a lot of off road vehicles there, and many people fishing.

Just had to include a picture of the Food Lion. This is the big grocery store where we get all the yummy ice cream, and specials if you have their MVP card;) They don't sell Tim Tams in America

Kiteboarding at the Canadian Hole, which is between Avon and Buxton, on the sound side

and here’s a picture of one of our favorite coffee shops, called Uglie Mugs. I took these pics especially for Josiah…

Happy 9th Birthday Bronwyn!!

Well, today, October 3rd, is Bronwyn’s birthday, and I can’t think of a better place to have a birthday. We packed a lunch and headed to Frisco Beach, where we stayed till after 5, then came back to the cottage for supper and birthday cake and ice cream.

Um…is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Super-Beebo!

Look! A dolphin!! We actually saw lots of dolphins today.

Sadly, tomorrow is our last day at the beach. This vacation went by too quickly. I don’t think I’m ready for the long cold winter. Well, I think we are going to Frisco Beach again, and I’m planning on going out to the sand bar with the kids. I want to savour every moment tomorrow. I love Cape Hatteras, I love the beach. It’s been a wonderful family time here.

In the States, people say 'Smarties' are:

a) Canadians

b) sour candies

c) yummy little colourful chocolates

can you guess?
