Surf City 2015

Hard to believe the end of summer is just around the corner. We've gone all summer and not had a trip to the beach.  With the weather being picture perfect and not too many more weekends left, this was the perfect day to go.

I'm sure many of you had read or heard about the many shark attacks that have happened on our coast this year.  We're always mindful of her in the water but this visit it was so much nerve racking keeping an eye on her and making sure she didn't get too far out. 

Boogie boarding

Evenings this weekend were perfect.  The sign said STEAMED BLUE CRABS, the passenger in the car said, "Let's stop!"

Waiting for steamed crabs

Despite the anticipation of having crabs when she got home, she couldn't succumb to the power of sleep!!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

It all starts with box of crabs...

Ends with a pile of shells all over the table!!!!  Oh so good!

Madison felt bad about her dad losing his sunglasses at the beach while boogie boarding with her that she drew him this picture.

And then who couldn't love a picture of a girl and her dog!

A drill, a fishing pole, and Shrek

We haven't had much planned lately so I MIGHT be able get a few weeks of quick updates out to share what has gone on over the summer.  

Just pay attention to the date in the posting and you'll see how far behind I am.  This is the weekend before last.

I ran into work for a few hours in the morning.  During this time, Jeff and Madison took the time to repair the door going out the garage that one furry friend had destroyed...no names mentioned...LUCY!!!

First you have to remove the door to be able to replace the screen...

Once the screen has been replaced and it's all snug, you put on the screen protector to keep paws from going through it!

And then you give the best "DONE!" pose possible!

Emma and her family finally got settled into their new home and had time to hang out again. We had our first fishing outing at Bass Lake.  This lasted for about 20 minutes with the girls fishing.

The dad's took over and Jeff was the only one to catch a fish that day.  Although, Madison has already learned how to tell a tall fish tale.  If you ask her, she caught the fish!!!

Unfortunately we had to cut our afternoon short despite the play date going very well but who could pass up tickets to the local theater showing Shrek the Musical, Jr ?
