Corolla Light house

We had a beach house right at the beginning of the outer banks, but when we went to stay with friends we went out farther and passed this light house. This is also right where the eye of the hurricane was so you could see lots of debris everywhere. So when Siena saw the light house she decided she wanted to climb it. We have done this a couple of times. It is exhausting and we usually end up carrying the kids up some of the way.
Siena and daddy made it to the top. Siena, Ben and daddy went in to the light house. On the first landing Ben got scared and came back out to wait with me and Claire. I explained to him what a light house was and then he wanted to go back in. It was too late Siena and daddy were already in and climbing so he cried at the bottom of the light house the whole rest of the time. When we go with Grandma next year he will be brave and go.
