Camping in the shadow of Hurricane Gustav

This child LOVES the beach!!!!!!!!!!
(and those are all tiny braids that she braided all by herself!)

Concentrating very carefully on Daddy's kite-flying lessons... There was no wind this day, but Gustav took care of that the next day with 20mph winds!

Marshmallow eating maniacs!

The perfect roasted puffed confectionery treat :)

It's only our 2nd s'more Mom, honest!?

Waking up after a "pleasant" night in a tent... in 100F weather...

Hannah is SMILING upon waking!!!! Maybe she should sleep in a tent every night?

Ahh, the smooth soft white sand.


Can't get enough of it!

And here we are in evacuation traffic... It took 10 hrs to make it back to Atlanta (it's normally a 5 hr drive).

We had a lovely time. Although mom wasn't too sure she really embraced this whole camping thing appropriately. It was hot and there were lots of bugs... But, the beach was gorgeous. We saw loads of fish and sea creatures. We played in the sand and flew kites. Had s'mores and went bike riding (Nina's bony little bottom got sore though so mom graciously rode back to camp with her!). And played games and cooked out. All in all it was an adventurous and fun family weekend :)
