The aquarium and a MONSTER truck

While we were in the Outer Banks, we went to the aquarium. It is rather small, but Bryce loves it. They have touch tanks and this year he actually touched a sting ray. He also touched the starfish, but he did that last year too. New for this year at the aquarium they have a green screen, and they can put your pictures into funny backgrounds. The two we chose are below. Bryce really loves the shark. It was fun to do.


FROGS everywhere. Do we look fly sized??


HELP, Jaws has got us!


On the way into the Outer Banks, you pass the home of Grave Digger. On our way back home, we did a little side trip and stopped. We happened to be there at the right time because on Saturdays they offer rides for $5 per person. Bryce was ECSTATIC that he could ride in a monster truck and I think my Dad was just as happy!!! Bryce now vows that every year we go to the Outer Banks, he needs a Monster Truck ride.
