Despite the threats and weather effects (i.e, LOTS of rain & wind) from Tropical Storm Fay, we had a good weekend. Beverly made & brought a cake to celebrate Abby's birthday with the family.
Friday night, David took the kids out in the golf cart while we worked on dinner, Low Country Boil. The electric battery meter proved to be very unreliable and the cart stopped 1-2 miles away from the house. This was one of the rare instances when David did not have his cell phone. Michael & Britton and me took turns driving around looking for them. As their time MIA approached TWO HOURS, John and Christy left to look for them also & spotted them about a block away. David said the kids were troopers on the hike back. Thankfully the battery had re-charged when we retrieved the cart later that night...almost enough to make it back to the house. David pulled a Fred Flintstone to bring it down the home stretch.
Saturday, we were very thankful the weather cleared enough to allow us 4 hours on the beach.
One major highlight was the deer which, as "big" John stated, were very "domesticized". They posed for pictures and seemed to expect food payment in return. We found out they liked crackers, lettuce, bananas, and even banana peel.
If you look at the Fripp pictures, Abby took the one of the deer....and she did NOT use zoom.
