J got another chance to visit this hot sauce mecca. The checkout area had these cricket treats that caught Aiden's eye. J said they'd been talking about how eating bugs is a thing and they are actually good for you. At first Aiden said no way, but was easily persuaded by daddy when he said, mommy will eat one if you do too?! So inexplicably I was choking down a little pokey, crusty, very dry cricket as Aiden quickly gobbled his in record time. I don't know how J convinced us to do that, but Aiden is excited he can say he did it now.
In a much tastier realm, the new Duck Donuts opened here in town! This is a legendary donut that people who go to the Outer Banks are always talking about and now we are no longer in a donut dry zone - woot! These donuts are hand dipped to order right off the belt and they are amazing! They have a peanut butter glaze which is doubly amazing! The lemon and orange glazes are equally as good! It was crowded when we went and we actually had to line up outside the store to get in, but it's totally worth it!
The sunflower Keaton planted blossomed! One out of the three is really big and almost as tall as Aiden! The other is laying sideways and one was broken off by an animal. It's fun to get a clear view of all the moths and insects that visit it as we walk by.
This big guy sometimes reminds me of his littler self and especially in his dino/dragon fleecey robe. He's been cuddling up in it at night, ya think we might need to turn off his fan or have the air up too high?!
Keaton picked this little pocket magnifier as a souvenir from our trip. He likes to dig a little all around and look at the "crystals" he finds up close.
These funny brothers watched some America Ninja Warriors and want to imitate them every chance they get. So here they are racing across the railing like it's their job. My job is to keep them out of the emergency room.
