We ride the waves, play frisbee and bocce ball on the beach, ride bikes, take walks, do puzzles, play games, watch TV, and we eat well! We take turns cooking.... I finally got smart about that a few years ago! :-) The main event of the week is going shrimping. We use a seine, a large net that is 100 ft long and 7 ft wide and attached to pvc pipe. J and our sons are the ones who usually go in the water with the net, but we all enjoy gathering the shrimp once the net is laid flat on the beach. Most people have never seen anyone seine, so we usually have a crowd watching and asking questions. When we go at night, we wear head lanterns.... and we look so COOL! I am so glad it is dark and no one can see us! :-) We have caught as many as 60 lbs and as few as 5 lbs. We never know what will happen... that's what makes it such a GREAT ADVENTURE!
Every year, I thank God for the opportunity to go, His provision that makes it possible, and that our children want to spend this time together as a family. We are very blessed. We take tons of pictures every year. I will be blessed, this year, to have the privilege of sharing them with you, my new "blogger" friends.

We used to crab from the pier when our kids were little, and that was a lot of fun. The whole pier would be full of people crabbing. Have a wonderful vacation! Jackie
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds like a wonderful vacation. I hope you're able to catch lots of shrimp!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend, and a great vacation!
Well...I for one look forward to your 'shrimping' pictures...since that is something totally foreign to me! Have a great vacation.
