Crabs & Strawberries

Chris had to work this past weekend (and every other weekend in May except for one while he is in Las Vegas...this month is gonna be rough on Ethan), so the Turners and I took the kids to the beach! It was a last minute thing, but was well worth it. It rained some Saturday morning when we were heading out to the beach, but by the time we got back from breakfast, it had cleared up. Chris got out of work late and did not get down there until 5:00 or so Saturday afternoon, so he missed all the beach fun (which I am certain he was very glad about since he hates sitting on the beach!). We headed to Calabash and ate at the Boundry House (excellent restaurant, by the way) and then looked in some of the shops. We searched and searched for a miniature golf place and found one at Ocean Isle. After I smoked Heath in mini golf, we headed back to Holden Beach. We decided not to go out on the beach on Sunday since Mandy, Heath and I got a bit of a sunburn the day before. We hung out at the house until lunch and ended up shopping a bit. Thanks to Mandy, we took home two hermit crabs. Ethan named them "Batman" and "Batgirl." He ran into school Monday telling people that he "had crabs." Nice.

Chris came home early this afternoon and picked up Ethan to run errands with him. They ended up bringing me my Mother's Day present early. Edible Arrangements! Mmmmm! SO good. They enjoyed eating all the fruit as much as I did. Luckily for me, they did not like the chocolate covered strawberries! After dinner we played outside and rode bikes to check on Grandma and Grandpa's house. Everyone is asleep and I am on my way. Goodnight!
