A Seek 'n Reach the Beach Field Trip

This past Wednesday the girls and I went on a field trip with our church. We signed up to get a tour of the Fort Story lighthouse.

There are 117 steps to get to the top It was a bit scary for Lilly going up the open-back spiral staircase.  Plus, imagine about 20-25 people going up at the same time. The thermometer registered over 100 degrees at the very top.

 

This was another lighthouse beside the one we climbed.

 

 This was looking up at the lighthouse we climbed.

After we climbed down and got out their we headed down the street for a photo opportunity of the cross monument stands which represents the cross the settlers would have established. Lilly and a few other kids didn't feel like having their picture taken.

When the group was done all the kids were invited to swim at a church member's apartment complex pool which she owns. She provided a humungous watermelon for everyone too.  Here are two tired girls.
