While in Elizabeth City, we had the chance to spend time wth Bill's nephew Dan, who is a Coastie.

Unlike a week earlier when we forgot to take pix of our visit with nephew Ryan in Wrightsville Beach, we did remember to get photos of Dan, his wife Angie and kids Sierra, Buddy and Connor.

After a fun evening Friday with Dan and Angie, they brought the kids over Saturday morning so we could meet them. All three thought the boat and the dogs were great fun. 7 year old Sierra is an avid reader and, as it turns out, a natural conch horn blower. Buddy is a very sweet boy who is bound and determined that he can crack open that coconut. And Connor is a tough little toddler who is just plain funny.

We hope to catch up with them again soon before they move to Alaska this summer.
