Vacation 2012

What a beautiful week we had in N Myrtle this past week! It was absolutely a perfect family vacation! Mom was able to  join us for the first weekend and we did some blue crab fishing which was pretty neat and fun. Justin actually steamed and ate them, and said they were rather sweet and tasty - - ew! He went back again later that week and caught more! We tied a chicken leg (or a fish head) on a string and just put it out in the water (marsh/inlet area) and would slowly pull it in once you knew there was a crab on it (and you would know) then you just net them. They have to be 5 in from point to point to keep. It kept Hayden entertained as well!! We were straight beach bums in the day though. Once the weather warmed up we headed out to the ocean. We were very fortunate to stay at my bosses beach house which is 2 blocks from the ocean so we would just walk to the water. Hunter of course ate some sand but he never got upset out there. He would crawl all over the beach -- I think he thought it was a really big bath tub! He had himself a nap out there too -- who couldn't ask for a better place to nap, in a tent ont he beach listening to the waves! Ahh, how relaxing! Mom and I went out there for a couples hours one day to try to do the same. Of course we like to talk a lot so I got about a 10 min nap when I realized I kept getting bit by flies. What? Never has that happened before! We had a shrimp boil for dinner and the rest of the week we either ate out or cooked in but whatever we did we made the best of it! The kids enjoyed their time, no fussiness (out of the norm at least) Justin and I enjoyed it too! Pictures to come tomorrow!
