Part Deux

Wednesday we headed out to the beach again and had and incredible time as you can see in the video down below. Dad and Brenda were responsible for dinner that night and we feasted on a plethora of local veggies (such a treat!). Each family was responsible for dinner for one night and then we ended up eating with Uncle Joe and his family Friday and Saturday night. Thursday was our night and we treated everyone to spaghetti with local shrimp and it was so good. After dinner we headed out for a walk on the windy beach and my wonderful amateur photographer husband caught some great shots. Take a gander...

Chasing seagulls. Funny story, they never caught one. ;)

I always grew up calling these angel's wings but they are in fact called pinshells (thanks, library books!). These shells are quite fragile and tough to find intact much less one this large! What a treat!



On the way back to the house we found this whelk shell. We thought we'd take it back to the house but...
...this little fella had made his home there. We saw lots of hermit crabs in all sizes this time and were able to hold them and let them walk around in our hands. Well, Drew and I did.
Parting shot as there was a storm brewing off to our left.

GREAT PICTURES!! I'm not so sure we can call Drew an "amateur" photographer! The pictures are so cool! I do have some pictures of me when I was MF's age that look so much like her! I am sure she will look better than I do at my age, though!
Love to all! MeMe
