First Half of the OBX!!!

So, Monday we decided to travel up to Duck to see what they had to offer. We stopped at a lot of the shops (Scarborough Faire and walked to the neighboring stores). I found some crocs (on sale too!) and got them - I am really wearing out my pair. I just love them, very comfy. Tuesday we decided we would go window shopping and ended up finding some fun things for the girls. Melanie just loves to touch on all the pretty things (very breakable) and all the toys she can put her eyes on!! Keeping her from touching them has been a great feat this week. Wednesday we went across the bridge to Manteo to check out the stores there. We hit traffic on the way and then found out that they had the art fair going on!! Go figure! I guess next time we'll have to check the events calendar! We went to the Aquarium and then of course went by the Christmas shop (it closed a few years ago and has re-opened, we were VERY disappointed). I got a nativity by Willow Tree last year with plans to add on a set each year. I have the basic set with Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, a Shepherd, a few sheep and a donkey. So, I still need the wisemen, more shepherds and some more animals. I found the wisemen at the Christmas Mouse and I bought them this year. All that is left now is more shepherds and animals if I want! Like my mom, I love nativities and I also love Willow Tree.
