Assateague 2010!

We had a fantastic time continuing the tradition of getting together with friends for a great weekend of sun, great food, and fun on the beach. We were especially glad that Dylan and Max had a great first camping trip. We're already looking forward to next year!

Jellyfish and seaweed were all over the beach and in the surf on Saturday...luckily, not so much on Sunday

Dylan - stretching or a glam shot?

IMG_0539.jpg

Definitely a glam pose that he learned from his mom, Elisa! Grece and Elisa ready for their close-up...

IMG_0543.jpg

Such gorgeous glam-stars...

IMG_0542.jpg

(She must be somebody famous...!)

Dylan in the shade tent - he had much fun playing with the beach ball and hopping in and out of the tent through the back flap

Elisa grilling the whole croaker - is it almost done?

IMG_0573.jpg

Yep - so much delicious food, where do we even start?!

IMG_0561.jpg

Mushrooms anyone?!

IMG_0563.jpg

Aww...

IMG_0569.jpg

Double aww...!

Sunday morning, Giselle woke up with her shirt's washing instructions stuck to her back like alphabet soup

IMG_0578.jpg

Grece and Max - he was so excited to explore the beach and the taste of sand...!

Rich's inaugural kite flight!

Despite high winds, it was a full success

He entertained Dylan (and the rest of us!) by making the dragon talk

Hmm. What's going on up there? Dylan and Richard working together to direct the line

IMG_0610.jpg

Dragon seems happy enough...

IMG_0612.jpg

But we'd better ask Kamo, the kite-master, his opinion!

IMG_0613.jpg

Yep, says here 20 mph winds are too high.

IMG_0614.jpg

Okay, time to bring it down. Let's call it a day and head to the crab feast!

IMG_1351.jpg

Look at that pile! And wait...she's bringing more food?!

IMG_1353.jpg

Can we make it through all these crabs...?

IMG_1355.jpg

Of course!
