More pictures from the beach






More pictures from our day at the beach. Hunting Island Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. And we live only 12 miles from it! The beach is lined with palm trees and driving in to the beach is really cool, it is dark and dense. Aiden says it is jungle. When we drive into the entrance Aiden always says "Be quiet, there are lions and tigers in here." I think Josh told him that last year! :) Notice the shrimp boat in the distance in one of the pictures. The other night when we went to get shrimp, we got it from a man our neighbor has been telling us about since we moved here. I usually buy it at a local stand down the road, but we decided to try Mr. Chism. I called and I believe he was on the boat shrimping as I was talking to him. He gave me directions to his house and I wrote them down the best I could understand. I didn't think we would actually find the place. We drove out to St. Helena's Island and made several turns on back roads and dirt roads. We drove up to a big house right on the marsh, I didn't think we had the right place, but someone pulled up in an old truck and I told them we were looking for Mr. Chism. He said "Right down there on the boat." So we went down to his dock and we bought the shrimp right off the boat. Can't get any fresher than that!! Mr. Chism now has our business!! A great Lowcountry experience.

I love the picture of Kyle with his arms outstretched to the ocean. He kept doing that over and over again. I would have loved to known what he was thinking.
