Down at the Docks

One night during our family beach week each year, we go out to eat seafood. We usually end up at Betty's. This is a nearby restaurant down at the docks on the intercoastal waterway. The kids enjoy watching the boats come and go and the fried shrimp and crab cake sandwiches are yummy!!

The whole crew while waiting for our table

Ta Da!!!
 After dinner, we head to play putt-putt! This is a family affair with all 7 children and 6 adults parading through the 18 holes!


Nothing like COUSINS!!!

Corrie prefers a pony ride!

And Lottie decides she must ride too!

The younger set


She had to pose in front of the waterfall too!

Corrie enjoyed hanging out with Daddy...

And Mommy!!

As the evening was drawing to a close , I experimented with taking some close ups of the kids...still only using the automatic mode. I don't know what to do with the manual setting...maybe I will learn one day!!





I pray that they will ALL have vivid memories of a warm summer's evening spent down at the docks and playing on the island with their cousins. Sweet memories indeed!!
