Toothless Smile

Holly shows off her smile sans two front teeth.
 

Food for All

This guy hung around all morning knowing we were suckers for throwing him handouts. He got all the fish too small to fry.  
Crabs performing before dinner.
 
Lining up to partake.
 
Walker, hammer, crabs. Need we say more?
 

More Casting Bounty

 
 
 
 

Crabs Bite Back

A blue crab held safely.  
Learning that blue crabs can actually reach UNDERNEATH themselves and pinch the heck out of you where they shouldn't be able to reach.
 
Net casting is a lot safer.
 
 

Beauties and the Beasts

Here the pretty ladies in purple float off the dock after watching the sunset. They'd just finished eating out at Hudsons seafood by the water.
 
Walker gives a close-up to the multitude of tiny crabs that were everywhere. All they wanted to do, though, was rest in the shade you cast on the sand.
 
Franklin tries his hand at fishing.
 
And Cameron at catching shrimp.
 

Blogging On Holly

Okay. Here she is. The queen of the Sides family - Holly. The only girl grandaughter (the guys accuse us all of treating them like chopped liver once she was born). She's seven, has the personality of a sweet elf and comes complete with a British accent. Who can resist her? Here she's sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for Aunt Susan to pull her tooth. I felt honored she finally chose me after changing her mind for several hours but daddy Worth couldn't abide it so he told her he was going to get a string and it would be done in a jiffy. As you can see, she quickly lost interest in the idea once it got closer and closer to happening.
 
 
 
Second only to swimming in the pool, she loved waking up those who weren't up before her.
 

Hilton Head Feast

We recently went to Hilton Head, SC to see Franklin's brother, his wife and their little daughter, Holly. Walker & Cameron threw the net and provided us with these crabs, the shrimp and the sheepshead.
 
 
 
Cameron made her family favorite - squash casserole, from squash from our garden. It was a mountain to sea feast.
