But, it is beautiful and serene. We went on the nature trail today...It's almost like walking around at a trail back home - except while you're walking and you hear something "scuttering" (a new word I coined today because of my momnesia) - - it's not a giant spider; it's a crab that looks like a giant spider.
Teeeeeny, tiny fiddler crabs.

you might not see them too well.
They're really small!)

Dead tree(s?)
Matilda explores her dad's head while riding on his shoulders:
Poison ivy. **I think** You know, "leaves of three" and all that.
Plus, they had an educational chart thingy warning that it was "abundant".
Aaaaaaah! Don't go off the trail!

Mommy gives it a try.

Afterwards, we decided to go to downtown Swansboro and get a coffee. Mike pointed out a kitty...verrrrry close to some duck-chickens (Mike's phrase for the ugly duck things).
(Kitty is on the left. Click to enlarge.)
Duck-chickens are reeeeally attractive:
Awwww, here are some cuties!
Dropping a house in!
A great day! Can't wait for more exploring next weekend!

Yep, that's a patch of poison ivy for sure. In addition to the "leaves of three" you can tell in poison ivy because there is a slight reddishness were the leaves and stem meet. Also, I'm pretty sure that the duck-chickens are actually geese.
Is she saying da-da ma-ma?!! Teach her to say Aunt Lori next!
