Just Scroll Down to Look at the Bird

This post will cover up to June 16th or so, and will mostly feature pictures. First, some pictures from a visit with our nephew Ashton:

His mommy woke him up when we got there so he was a little unhappy.

But coloring with Auntie Kulsy (his pronunciation, not mine) made him happy.

And he joined Uncle Mike in the time-honored tradition of bashing toy cars into one another.

After that, we went to the beach. 

The view from the house.

The view of Kelsey's view.

Us at the butterfly gardens!

The whole beach week 2015 crew. Beau and I realized during this beach week that this was the tenth consecutive year that we have gone to the beach together. Lots of ten year anniversaries this year.

Traditional skewers for grilling.

Traditional people not actually grilling but sitting near the grill to pretend as though they were helping in some way.

The actual grilling (done by Brian, who slowly wrested control from the incompetent grillers (me) over the years).

Traditional poker.

Oh, and this bird at the Brookgreen Gardens Zoo.

Now scroll down for more of the bird.

Best picture I've taken so far.
