Day 9 of vacation

Buxton, NC

Another full day in Buxton at the Lighthouse View Motel. Another 2 sessions in the pool. This time they graduated to doing "Cannonballs" off the side of the pool. I was so impressed. They both came up laughing. They saw some other children doing it so they figured they could do it. Grandson even swam the length of the pool, much of it underwater. I know because I swam alongside him. (I sat out most of the pool sessions, letting Boppa have the honors).

There was a little girl there who swam without water wings, just a bit older than Granddaughter. Granddaughter (our social butterfly) kept asking her "What's your name" but the little girl wouldn't answer. Finally, after watching our kids count "1, 2, 3 -- cannonball!", this little girl decided to do the same thing! "1, 2, 3" she shouted as she jumped in. Granddaughter turned to Boppa and said, "She CAN talk!" I guess they thought she was mute!

We went back to Dirty Dick's for dinner, but it wasn't as good as we had hoped. Crab cakes were overpriced and not well-seasoned. We didn't order anything for grandkids except fries because they said they weren't hungry. They didn't even eat the french fries, so we brought them back with us to heat up in the microwave if they got hungry later (they didn't).

It was easy to get them to sleep today!
