Annual Beach Trip With Our Dear Friends

We headed back down to Daufuskie Island for one last time for the summer. This time everyone was together and we spent our time with our friends, the Gantz family. This is our 12th year going to Daufuskie with them. We went from families of 3 to families of 5...and we keep adding. We have a lot of special memories. We always spend time reminiscing about our adventures from the past. This year we have definitely added to the memories with 3 days of no air condition. To say it was HOT is an understatement! On a positive note though, we did get to see a loggerhead turtle, weighing about 300 lbs, dig her hole on the beach, lay her eggs and head back to the water. Some of our group were able to see some baby loggerhead turtles hatching as well. This is a first for us in our 12 years there!
Here are some of my favorite pics.

I had to crop everyone else out to get a good picture of Lily - before the meltdown
