At the risk of this post dragging on for years, and losing everyone's interest quickly, I will try to keep it brief.This last week we spent on Folly Beach in South Carolina. Folly Beach is an island off the coast of Charleston and every few years my Dad's family gets together there. It worked out that our week off from camp coincided with the reunion, and we were also able to get a great deal on airline tickets so we could fly instead of the insanity of 4 10 hour days in a car with a 16 month old!
We stayed in a funky old beach house and enjoyed time with a whole lot of loud and crazy relatives. There was swimming, boogie boarding, turtle nest watching, eating, crab catching, eating, laughing, yelling, eating, sleeping, and eating.

he played in the "wa wa" so much

Forrest got spoiled with naps this week. He took a lot
of them with Buelo or Buela. We'll be retraining this week.
My Uncle bought a crab trap and we spent a good part of the week
setting it in the marsh behind their house and waiting of the blue crabs to come.
We actually caught a lot and my cousin made yummy crab cakes several times.
I even learned how to "shuck" a crab. I thought you only shucked corn!

The big news of the week is that Forrest learned how to walk! Hurray! That meant I went to Walmart and got his "Mono" (Monkey for those who don't speak Espanol) I know some people view putting a leash on your child cruel, but it works for us. And with the airports ahead of us, seemed like a good investment.
