We made our annual pilgramage to Skidaway Island to see the Shockley side of the family. We got Rachel early the night before we planned to go so we picked her up and went and spent the night with Uncle Booboo and GiGI and the cousins. Nothing like having family come in at 8:30 at night - we extended everyone's bed time and let them have some fun in their great play room. Said thanks and bye to Brian the night before as he goes to work around 5am -- after playing some more in the am we thanked Jennifer hit the road. We made good time to Savannah and after giving love to Nana Hazel - hit the pool! Nothing better than a pool especially with the new slide Dave rigged off the side of the porch. The uncles Chris and Sean showed up shortly after and we had a bigger pool party. Good food was had by all as David and Chris made shrimp and sausage pasta with assorted left over curries in the frig! We hit the beach the next day and did lots of body surfing - wave jumping - shell gathering - we watched a seagull attempt to fly off with a full pack of nab peanut butter crackers!!! Back home for a little quiet time - a golf cart ride - more pool - then Graddaddy Dave made it home from Norfolk, VA -- dinner Tandoori Chicken -- more pooltime - Next day ..... THE MALL, Hope had a wallet full of birthday cashola - Nana gave the other girls a few bucks and somehow we spent 5 HOURS there... yikes! But all the girls were troopers and appeared to be very happy with purchases made and food eaten. The little girls went to the Build a Bear workshop and now we have 2 new addtions to the family - Ella and Isabella! We got home and yup, pool time -- see a pattern here? Dinner - curry, grean beans from our garden, marinated flank steak. Last day - we were headed into downtown Savannah when the van started to over heat - thank goodness we were still on the island, we made it back to the house - noticed that the radiator was totally empty, whoops, at least it wasn't on the hwy home! by that time it was mid-day so we hung out and went for golf cart rides and pool time and a LONG nap for the girls......... David, Sean and I went to Dave's fish monger - she get's shrimp in every day and we brought the cooler and got 20lbs of frest caught that am shrimp! $3 per pound............. -- she iced up the cooler and we are the envy of the neighborhood. Last night, dinner, fresh fish caught behind their house, Dave caught the first fish and since he didn't have a bucket stuffed it in his shorts pocket! What a sight to see his pants wiggling... then the girls got into the act and started playing with the fish in the bucket, making them talk to each other and kisss.... must be that sea air. Did I mention we saw the alligator in the back lagoon? Sorry - a lot of the stuff is on video rather than camera shots.
We made it home safe and sound.
