Honeysuckle Hill Flashlight Maze and Scream Creek Haunted Woods My sister loves corn mazes. She's been wanting to take me to one for years. Last year we didn't get to go, so we wanted to try to make it to one this year. My mom suggested that we all go to Honeysuckle Hill Farm in Springfield, TN. She's a youth director and has plans to bring her church kids there in a few weeks. A good excuse to scope it out... We opted to go in the evening and do the flashligh...

We had breakfast with Chris at a little restaurant on the pier. He did get to stay very long since he had to go back to work. Corey and I wanted to spend some more time on the beach, so went to the beach in Kitty Hawk. The waves were really rough today! One hit me the wrong way and sent me tumbling. It flipped me upside down and slammed my shoulder into the sand. My back was really hurting after that. We saw some kite-boarders up the beach from us. It was...

We've been trying to figure out a time to visit the Aquarium and decided today would be the day. The North Carolina Aquarium is located on Roanoke Island. Jamie and his family were delayed, so Corey and I went to the Roanoke Island Festival Park. They have a replica of an Elizabethan ship and a...

Today we got together with the Earlys for some more beach time. When we arrived, Caroline and Cooper were getting ready for their naps. We manged to tear Jamie away, and the three of us headed to the beach. The waves were pretty perfect today. We've heard that they were pretty calm most of the summer, but the storms seem to have shaken up the water a bit. We all went swimming for a while and then Corey and I did some boogie boarding. We tried to wait for everyo...

4x4 Beach Today there is a Surf Advisory caused by Hurricane Ike. It's amazing to me that storms that far away can affect the beaches here! Since the rip tides made swimming dangerous, we decided to check another adventure off our list. Corey has been dying to take his new jeep off-road. We heard there was an area north of Corolla (pronounced Core-ahllah down here) where you can drive your vehicles out onto the beach. We stopped in Duck, NC along the way fo...
