Derek was out of town the week prior to this trip and was just too exhausted to take the boys (along with 11 other Cub Scouts) to the beach for a sleepover. So, guess who stepped up....yep, supermom.
We had a "sleeping with the fishes" experience at the Fort Fisher Aquarium. Let's just say there was not much sleeping going on. The boys all had fun, but I was ready to get back to Raleigh and my own bed the next day!
The night of the sleepover was filled with animal encounters where we met several reptiles and Wilson the wood duck (my favorite). The boys even got to make painted fish-print T-shirts.
The next morning we all had a private tour of the aquarium before it opened to the public. We then headed out the the new lorikeet exhibit and fed the birds their breakfast. Maverick wasn't a fan of the birds climbing all over him.
After touring around everything and picking up a few souvenirs in the gift shop, we headed back to Raleigh. It was a treat to be able to spend this time with the boys, but I sure do enjoy sleeping in my own bed!
