On Monday, the kids had the day off from school and it was my students' asynchronous day, so while Zac worked in the morning, I took the kids down to the beach. We walked south towards Fort Fisher at low tide and played for a long time at the coquina rock formation, which was exposed at low tide.
- Kure Beach’s coquina rock formation is home to a very rare and distinctive mossy hard rock outcropping. Only visible during low tide, the rock is cemented together by seashells and coral with an estimated origin ranging from 12,000 to 80,000 years ago. Located near the coast of Fort Fisher, it is a true natural wonder and remains the only rock formation on the coast of North Carolina that is home to a variety of wildlife.

Simon built a weird little nest out of some of the coquina rocks that had broken off and were higher up on the sand.
They also enjoyed frolicking in the calmer surf at low tide, since it was broken up by a sandbar.
And of course, there was lots of fishing in the afternoon with Zac.
(Pretending to catch the big one)
Evening at the beach is always so beautiful!
The moon was nearly full, so every night it lit up the sky and sea.
Inside, I even had a bit of spare time to relax with the kids.
