South Carolina....Still Lovin' The South!

Our "Fripp House" on Ocean Creek Boulevard

Elyse and Alex fishing and netting on the dock behind house on the canal

The "little alligator" (3-4 foot long) that hung out by our dock

South Carolina.....Fripp Island.....been there the last 7 or 8 years (not sure)....and there is always something new, yet familiar with each return!  We had a super week in South Carolina before we headed to the Outer Banks.  Family friends, The Lentzs, joined us for the week, arriving Sunday night.  It was a relaxing week of laughs, kite flying, golfing, boating, and beaching!  I think Brenda's words the night before we all left sum up how the week went.  She said, "This is one of the best vacations we have ever had!".  Us too!

I will make these post similar to the ones I made for North Carolina, in groups.  Maybe you can enjoy the South Carolina sunshine by enjoying these pictures......just pretend you were there!

Savannah, Alex, and Kayla saying hello to deer that roam island

We rented a house through the same lady we have rented houses with the last two years.  She owns three houses on the island.  While it is not right on the beach, it is ideal location for our kids as it is on the canal (fishing and crabbing), right across from beach access (for our many trips to beach), right by a park with basketball court and volleyball (for Elyse to shoot), and located on the "hottest" teenage strip where all the teenie boppers drive around on the golf carts mingling! There is constant activity in the evening of teenagers giggling, hanging, and meeting at the park.  We did let the girls drive the golf carts alone although they were not 16 years old like the island law states.  Savannah became the driver for the kids in the evening and they ventured everywhere!  It is also good for Wayne as it is right across from a golf course.  The house itself is beautiful, has everything we need, and we feel very "at home" in it.

Elyse, Alex, and Wayne...ocean behind!

While the fishing was not too good in the canal, we did catch some crabs off the dock as well as had a friendly little alligator that frequented behind our house int he canal.  There were also lots of deer in the evening behind the house enjoying the shade and grass.
