Sunday
- Buttered ourselves in sunscreen.
- Short bike ride to the beach.
- Set up chairs, ocean-side.
- Read.
- Walked along the shore.
- Discovered a new sea creature (after all these years? Something NEW to me??)
- Read some more.
- Packed up, back to the condo for a LATE lunch.
- STORMY weather (glad we brought our stuff back...had it been up to me, we would've left it and it would've been soaked).
- Bike ride after the rain. First to the ocean, then inland to the Kiawah River.
- Boys disgusted their sister because they mistook the Kiawah River for a public toilet.
- Saw several deer families, including velvet-antlered bucks.
- FIRST ALLIGATOR SIGHTING! WAHOO! About four-feet long!
- Met "Thomas", a teenager who had just caught a big ol' honkin' spot-tailed bass. He had to fight the alligator to get it up on the dock. Thomas won. B I G. The gator sulked off, defeated and humiliated.
- Coming home, saw Bambi and his mother again. Fawns with white spots are the CUTEST! Will actually take a camera with me on future bike rides; that will assure NO wildlife ventures out, the same way forgetting an umbrella brings the rain ;).
- Yummy dinner featuring local produce--when I declared I could eat my weight in [Silver Queen] corn, my oldest son challenged me. Do I really wanna prove him wrong during the week I'm wearing a bathing suit?
- We're doin' something we've never done before--a study in Romans with the kids. Already, questions are arising and we barely coasted through chapter 1. Should be interesting....
