NC crew

The Rutledge crew from Raleigh came to vacation with us last week. Derek found a rental that was a mere minute from our house. We enjoyed happy hours and dinners with everyone all week.

Gus willingly shared bear hugs with us all. Sam included!


I expect one of these in the Christmas stocking, Dad. --Tess (Derek's ipod)


Ever observant, Owen could spot the fiddler crabs, cranes and other marsh birds with his keen eyes. You don't get anything past this guy!


One of our favorite parts of the week was Splash Zone. The boys showed off their swimming skills by touching the bottom, swimming underwater, and zooming down the big slides with Dad. I'm hoping Corinne was watching closely and tries to mimic their swimming habits. They've obviously grown confident in the water. Tess held her own in the shallow pools, also. Sorry I didn't photodocument, but I'm not adept enough to watch Hurricane Corinne and snap the camera at this point.

Thanks for trekking to Folly for your vacation, guys. We enjoyed seeing you!
