Donnaslilspace: Vacation Time!!!!

Last week we all went on vacation to our favorite beach ~ Topsail Island, NC and had a beautiful house oceanfront to sit and watch and hear the ocean all day!!! I think this was one of the best vacations I have had in awhile, last year at Tybee Island, GA it rained all day every day so this past week we had nothing but 90 degree weather and plenty of sunshine to soak up all week!!! Marci, Skeeter and Meg went with us (in their own vehicle) and it was great getting to spend so much girl time with her sitting with our chairs and feet in the water while soaking up the rays and chatting all day every day. Marci and Meg went out two nights with the flashlights looking for crabs, they caught a bunch of them and had to name each one. Marci was picking them up with clothes pins so they wouldn't pinch her and one got away from her dragging the pin with him on his leg *LMAO* We went out looking for him the next morning but couldn't find him. Dwight and I enjoyed our early morning walks with Daisy each morning and Megan came along with us one day but I don't think she is into that much now that she is getting older, she didn't even collect seashells this year. Dwight and I stayed at the house about all week except for two evenings we went out to eat and looked through some of the beach shops but we just enjoyed sitting on the deck in the afternoons watching everyone play on the beach. On Thursday we had a shark scare, one was spotted right down from us earlier in the morning, then we all went down to the beach and had been there about 15 minutes when two sharks came in really close to the shore, you should have seen everybody getting out of that water and passing the word all up and down the beach to get everybody out. That's the first 'live' shark I have ever seen and he was about 10 feet in front of me jumping through the water. Needless to say, there was little ocean activity that day, most of the kids just played in the sand or a bunch of them had beach volleyball set up to play. I don't think any of us were ready to come back home this trip, It would have been awesome to have had another few extra days but I left with some awesome memories of all our time together and the fun we had = ) Already looking forward to next year, can't wait!!! Thanks Dwight for putting up with all of us.....
