picture time!

no vacation is complete without family photos right?
this time, thankfully they went off without a hitch-or a fall!
we waited till the last evening...so i was thankful they turned out!
on the other hand...someone MUST tell these kids to stop growing up!

gone fishin!

we went to uncle carl's during our visit.

they live in a lovely home and on lovely ground in south carolina.

the girls remembered fishing last year.  

they would not hear of not fishing even though it was 300 degrees with not an once of breeze. :)

their efforts were fruitful.

my pictures are a little yucko but you get the drift.

super hot. but also a super big fish.

Anne caught it-then refused to hold it. :)

big fish!

uncle carl and the girls.  

uncle and nephew.

shrimp and dolphins.

we met up with adam's uncle, aunt, and cousin while we were on vacation.
jessica organized a dolphin cruise.  we were super excited.
we saw a couple tails and a great view of one super close to us.
it was too much to grab a camera and watch a dolphin at the same time.  so just take our word on that one! ;)

this picture makes me happy and sad.  she is so beautiful=happy. she is getting so big=sad

 we also had a ton of shrimp while we were in sc.
the girls usually don't have to peel them individually.  but we were eating so much of it, we decided it was high time they learned.
watch the progression of kate learning...

this cracks me up....she was NOT in love with peeling her own. :)  

heaven in a bowl.

Chat soon!
