HaleyA picture is worth a a thousand words, so I’ll spare you too many details and highlight only the good stuff.
Our friend Kevin (future Honey Do List extraordinaire) and his wife Nicole traveled from Augusta for a day visit. As fellow CrossFitters with a competitive streak, Kevin challenged everyone to handstand pushups.
James followed suit with a respectable handstand, but the pushup part needed some steadying. (I was deemed photographer, lest I break my neck.)
After seeing the guys’ attempts, Nicole knew it was time for her to make a debut. She promptly flipped up into a handstand, and began to walk down the beach, as if she does it all the time. (I was beating myself up about not being able to replicate this feat, but then I learned she’s a past gymnast. Ah-ha!)
To give Nicole a rest from all that blood rushing to her head, the four of us went on an hour-long beack walk, and ran into quite a few washed-up jellyfish. When we returned, us girls retired to our lounge chairs while the boys broke out the Waboba ball.
And competition was back in motion as they attempted to try to throw the ball as far away from the other as possible. As a result, there were many diving catches.
And all the while, my parents floated in the ocean.
And Ellen and her friends rode bikes.
For breakfast this morning, we had a hearty spread, complete with shrimp and grits.

Wow!!! That is bananas!! Can I do a hand stand? Am I successful at doing more than one push up? and here they are completing both. I am speechless.
Watch out for the Jellies!!!! Did someone have to pee on your sister to keep the sting from burning. I was told that was the remedy (Heartbreak Kid)
Shrimp and grits are my favorite I order it everytime I see it on the menu. Kudos!!
No one managed to break the public urination laws, but I did make Ellen go on a walk with me. I was thinking it might help divert the pain and get her blood pumping.
