The Marathoners after a week of rest!!!

My Marathoners!!!!!

And to think, Bent, of all those miles we pushed them in those jogging strollers!!!!

The Morris Marathoners!!!!



Before the start.



And they're DONE!!!



B smiling as he passes us and heads to the finish line!

 

They did it!  And so did all those other crazy people!

 

Re-hashing the race.

 

"We were AWESOME!"

 



St. George...winding down...



Beauty and the Beach



My girl!

 

The best family ever!!!

 

The boys!

 

Mr. Heron in the bay....



...and on the dock.





It's better with friends.

                        

And it was good.



THE Fisherman, day 2.....

Another mackerel!

And a trout!

And a pitiful little perch!

And another mackerel!

And they were delicious....grilled outdoors by the Manly Morris Men....otherwise known as: Mosquito Snacks!!!

Armies of baby crablets!!!

If you walk along the bay, armies of baby crabs, all waving their miniature claws menacingly, race ahead!

Rosie didn't like them in the shade. She did not like them in the sand.

She did not like them climbing up little blades. She did not like the sounds they made!

But she made the trek and took the pictures for me anyway.  Cause she's cool like that!!!!!

My Fishermen....day 1...

Bent's first Spanish Mackerel

Rosie's Cat

Skinning the cat, Skipper style!

Success!

St. George Island

Heron near the inlet where Fred caught his shark years ago!

Mr. Heron stayed with us (or more accurately, we stayed with him!!) all week.  He made very close inspections of Bent's casting and stayed with him on the pier at times.  Today, he took a walk along the bay with us.

At the park.

Friends.

Forever.

Beauty  among the thorns.
