on the last full day of our trip we went for a kayaking tour of the kiawah island marshes. it was a warm, sunny, clear morning and since it's the off season there were only 3 of us + our guide tj. it was my first time paddling a kayak & it was so much fun! we saw some beautiful scenery and wildlife it was a peaceful and enjoyable trip! thanks again to my mil & fil for having us down with them!
have a good weekend y'all and i promise to be back with foster the puppy updates next week!

seabrook island, sc

we spent most of our short trip on seabrook island, which is about 30 minutes outside charleston. seabrook is a nice slow-paced and quiet place with beautiful scenery everywhere you look. DH's m&d have been going there for years and we happily accepted an offer to tag along.
the view from our balcony yum! sailboats cruising by on a windy day while it was snowing back home we were enjoying a beautiful sunset and those are the newlyweds who were staying next door can you see the egret? lots of brown pelicans on our beach and dolphins! cool beach shot i highly recommend taking a trip down to seabrook island! as you can see it's a lovely place!

charleston, south carolina

ok, i'm back! since i haven't posted since our trip i thought i'd share some pics.
we spent a slightly breezy & chilly day walking around charleston, which is a lovely city. city doesn't seem like the right word. it's a very cozy town with alot of history.
here's a few pics along battery row live oak with spanish moss (these are everywhere) ol' bill we had lunch at a yummy placed called hyman's. strange name yes but killer crab cakes, mac n' cheese, hush-puppies, she-crab soup, calamari and everything else! a christmas ornament and one box of pecan pralines later and we were done! it was a great day walking around a great town!

blogging break

sorry puppies foster has been absent lately. thanks to all who have inquired and/or harassed me lately for posts. i honestly just haven't felt like writing at night. maybe it's the changing of the seasons or amount of daylight. i'm just in a bit of a funk. i'm heading back to physical therapy this week b/c of a re-injury and have been busy with party planning, weddings and just life in general i guess.
don't worry about foster, he is spectacular! he's been having lots of fun hunting adventures with daddy (read:pheasant for dinner tonight!) and bringing joy into our lives everyday still.
i promise we'll be back soon! i'm glad so many people miss the blog!
ta ta, megs

DH was VERY upset we missed the snow last weekend (what is wrong with this man?) but we had an excellent trip down to SC!!
puppy was giving us the silent treatment last night but it seems all is forgiven today. updates to come tomorrow, hopefully!

puppy the co-pilot

last weekend dave was away and i was heading down to CT. so puppy spent saturday night at auntie laura & uncle tri's house. usually we transport foster in dave's truck but since he was already away my car would have to do. well it turns out foster's crate does not fit in my trunk so i had to put it in the backseat, which means puppy was my co-pilot! i was a bit nervous and he was very fidgety but it was only a 30 minute drive so we survived!
in other news.....we're off to SC tomorrow for a mini vaca so puppies foster will be on hiatus next week. foster will be staying at club med for puppies, otherwise known as ken & beth's house, so i'm sure he won't even miss us. have a good week y'all!

opening day-UPDATE!

puppy retrieved 3 ducks this morning! although i heard there was some shaking and tossing of duck #3 up in the air in play, foster recovered and quickly brought the duckie back to daddy. sitting still in the same spot for 1hr resulted in some whining but overall he did a pretty good job out there on his first trip! daddy has a bit more work to do...
GOOD BOY FOSTER!!!!
