Heritage Park

Early morning of our first night we had some nasty thunderstorms roll through and thankfully none of the kids were really bothered by them. (There were 6 adults on this vacation and 6 kids ranging from 4.5 years to 3 months.) Eli did, however, wake up around 6:00 AM or so. I was able to get him back to sleep, but only by cuddling him... then we were the last ones up :-)

After a lazy morning we all headed up to the Heritage Park where the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education, Currituck Light House and Whale Head Club are all located. We had a really fun time. The wildlife center was closed (but we knew that) but we walked around looking at the sound, watching people crab, and looked at the lighthouse.

One family bought chicken legs, 10 feet of rope and a colander and had a blast crabbing. It was very cool to watch and we will partake in this next time we hit the beach :-) They were catching Blue Crabs.
