Giselle was trying out a highly fashionable bug patch. There didn't seem to be any bugs, so we will never know whether the patch is a total hoax, or whether it scared all the bugs from Assateague Island.

Erica's just happy to be here!

Giselle and Erica walk in the surf as Max flies his kite.

Leo is having second thoughts about this whole jumping in the ocean thing.

IMG_0150.jpg

Giselle & Christine are about as far in as they're going.

Max and Erica

IMG_0152.jpg

Nobody's as eager to swim late in the day after our arrival but Leo.

IMG_0159.jpg

Our first uber-gourmet dinner. Max and Erica orchestrated a crowd-pleasing grilled rockfish.

After dinner bonfire on the beach

Happy campfire crowd. Jason's plotting ways to get people to drink more bourbon.

The next morning, we had two types of delicious sausage.

And blueberry toast from an Amish market!

Our trusty campsite. The blue sun tent wanted to fly away in the gale-force winds Saturday night, but by some miracle it never left the ground.

Drinking coffee by our tent.

Grece is very impressed by Leo's beer-shading hat.

From Kamo: Macho-man and his babe

IMG_0181.jpg

Jason ponders how to get this fire started. But at least he wasn't barefoot.

IMG_0182.jpg

Dylan, demonstrating why he's the center of attention: undeniable cuteness!

From Leo & Christine: sometimes you're forced to huddle for warmth

3760505017_6aeae52276.jpg

From Leo & Christine: a great fire! (but Erica's still a bit cold)

IMG_0240.jpg

Ponies like keeping an eye on the human visitors.

IMG_0244.jpg

Nice hairdo, dude!

IMG_0249.jpg

Uhhh. This is a pretty complicated photo. Giselle told Leo to "Act tough!" But what about the guy in the background?! Yeah, we don't know what that's all about...

IMG_0250.jpg

So happy to be on the beach.

IMG_0251.jpg

Aww.

IMG_0254.jpg

Giselle and Kamo played frisbee on the beach.

IMG_0255.jpg

IMG_0259.jpg

We stopped for a crab feast on the way home. Christine was excited, Leo was skeptical.

IMG_0261.jpg

Leo felt better once the crabs arrived.

IMG_2044.jpg

From Kamo: it's hammer time!

IMG_2045.jpg

From Kamo: the crabs didn't have a chance against these ferocious women!

IMG_2050.jpg

From Kamo: full of crab and ready to go home
