Day 7 Cape Fear Coastkeeper

Last night was a exciting night. We went to Lill&Bill's watch the Superball game together. Of course we have Starcie's lovely "Sweet Sixteen" birthday. Devin got the prize for the superball commercial bingo! Then we watched the movie "Up".

We are overtired but still needed to wake up early today!!!

Monday was sunny and cloudy which made a nice day. We went out to meet with the Cape Fear COASTKEEPER Mike Giles and his coworkers. First we picked up trash and little pieces of asphalts from the marsh and inner coastal beach.

After lunch we helped bag oyster shells that are then used to build an oyster reef.  The coastal keepers then monitor established reefs.

Oyster Restoration events occur along the coast throughout the year. As volunteers for the Coastal Federation, we have the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and contribute to the community. Working with others to help protect the coast is an incredibly rewarding experience. We enjoyed it. The coastkeepers taught us how to catch fish. We found some little fish and crabs. We learned a lot from the coastkeepers. Thanks for having us.

After a hard day of working, Louise brought us to an oyster bar. We tried some raw and fried oysters. They are fresh and delicious. We headed home for a little while, then went to a nice dinner with Lill and Bill. Late night we just played games and relaxed.
