How'd you spend your tax day?

We spent ours at Edisto State Park, shelling, Bike riding and picnicking.

Allenni loves the camera
Well, Since we could not get all the bikes in the van, Eli and I rode in the van with our bikes so we could get ice and decided to meet the others at the park. uh oh, It was a longer way than we had thought so where as it only took Eli and I about 10 minutes, the others drove about 30 minutes! They were tired! and complaining!
Maggie and Ben found a chair to rest in
Graham found Isaiah's trailer to rest in which made Isaiah furious
A crab we found on the beach
Shell seekers
Nathaniel at Jeremy's Inlet. We walked 2 miles to get there. We had to get there when the tide was out, cross over, look for shells for a while and leave before the tide came back in or we would be stuck.
The boys found some clay flats and decided to make clay balls

Eli likes the mud clay he found
Maggie didnt want to walk in the Inlet to get back over to the beach so she piggy backed on Seora!
Isaiah got the idea from Maggie and begged Seora to carry him! Hmmmm! maybe I should have tried! Isaiah fell asleep on her back.
Yeah!! we made it back with some great shells and had hot dogs for lunch!

Eli took the bag of watermelon and finished it off
Duane and I
You can't see it well, but there is a cool bird on the clam shells

Spring Break at Edisto Beach, SC

On our way to the Beach we stopped at Nana Jan's and Papaw Bud's to visit. There wasn't much room to walk with all of us in the living room.

Isaiah fell asleep on my head while we were traveling.

We usually go to Destin for a trip to the Beach. But last year we decided to do something different and went to Edisto Island, SC. We loved it so much we decided to come again. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and used to go to the beaches of NC and SC with my family. It makes me miss my grandma, who loved the beach. We have the beach practically to ourselves, it is so relaxing. Pelicans fly overhead continuously and shells abound. It is well worth the 9 hour drive. There are no shopping malls, no strips or many restaurants. The kids love the bike trails and the many pools and beaches.

Isaiah loved his little trailer to ride in
The resort has a putt putt that Nathaniel and Andrew have practically lived at
The Low country shrimp boil

After the shrimp boil, there was Karoke! Nobody but us wanted to do it! (we were the youngest at the boil!
The activities director was from China and loved Karoke as well.
