We Survived Jellyfish Season!

Ying and Yang atop the Tybee Island Lighthouse

We had tons of fun finding all kinds and marine life around the island. It was high jellyfish season and unfortunately the kiddos had to have first aid lessons in dealing with a lot of stings, but they are troopers and didn't let it get in the way of their fun. We had a great time on our Sift and Seine Adventure with the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. The kids sifted sand to find lots of little creatures and used a huge seine net to catch some fish and a lot of jellies. It was great to have someone along who could identify and tell us about all we found! We also tried our hands at fishing on the back river, but patience is not a virtue we have developed in enough quantity, yet.




We Also visited the Oatland Island Wildlife Sanctuary on a day we needed a break from the beach. Above in a picture of Yang with the Cow in the Early Georgia Farm exhibit and below are Ying and Hulk on the Marshland Overwalk. I was low tide so we saw hundreds of little fiddler crabs, snails and some bigger blue crab.

I can't say our week was without TV..lol We found this TV and couch on the beach one morning.

















Hulk had an injury prone vacation with the doors in our condo. Sad thing is when your Mama is an ER nurse and your not bleeding to death, you tend to get very little sympathy when you cause your own injuries. That's why God made Great Grandmothers and Great Aunts ;).
 We loved the beach and had an amazing 2 weeks! Its so great to get together with far flung family in such a low key setting. No one felt like they had to be everywhere or do everything. Great cousin bonding time, even if in the end you have to have a chart on the wall to figure your out how your related to everyone...lol... This is the kids with their "1st Cousin once removed" from Virginia..lol
