Every day is a beach day in the Outer Banks. Day 2 was less focused on building towers, walls, and castles and more focused on...
...escaping the waves!
Luckily Evie's quickness usually proved too much for the ocean.
Ellie, on the other hand, was very much concentrating on her dancing for the entire vacation. Practice makes perfect believes Ellie and that meant dancing whenever she had a chance -- even on the beach!
Ellie is showing off her beautiful lines.
Next comes a little shake...
...and finally the big finish with magic fingers!
While many people like to cool off in the ocean after a strenuous workout, Ellie prefers the "ocean pool" that Dad digs out every day.
In the afternoon it was off to mini golf, which Evie has been looking forward to since last year. We start our outing at our favorite course: "Professor Hacker's Adventure Golf" (that's the good professor behind us).
Unfortunately, we went during Ellie's nap time. The 20 minute nap in the car on the way to the course didn't quite leave her refreshed for 18 holes of exciting fun!
Ellie (somewhat) and Evie (definitely) enjoy the train, which takes us up the mountain on the way to the first hole.

Are the two photos of the same hole in one? Nope. Dad managed two holes in one with only one good arm and just 10 days after wrist surgery (a feat he duplicated three days later).
Evie shows off her fine swing, which allowed her to beat Mom and Dad on several holes.
By the end, Evie and Ellie were both excited about our afternoon golf soiree. The box of explosives says it all!
