Beaufort- shrimping and engagements!!!!!

Beaufort- So two weeks after Rob and I got back from Europe we made the trip down south. 

Family, fishing, shrimping, boating, relaxing and a surprise proposal. We had such a wonderful time. The beautiful trees full of spanish moss are just amazing to look at and provide such an escape from our hectic city life. I could not stop taking photos..........

SHRIMPING

Rob making bait balls with no gloves. Eeewwwwww

Ryan and Rob hard at work throwing the net.

The outcome.

Seasoned and boiled. Yummmmm!!!!

This was the first time Rob has worn a lizard as an earring. Guess this is not a yankee child's common outdoor activity.

Settled in our kayaks for a photo finally....... A few minutes after we got in our kayaks and I assured Rob we would not get wet, he flipped his and floated down the waterway. Dad and uncle Tracy had to come save him. Hilarious!!!! That is the last time he will listen to me.

THE PROPOSAL

soooooooooooo happy!!!!

And on a perfect beautiful evening the surprise got even better.........

Melissa's mom was secretly hiding at our aunt and uncle's house waiting for the arrival of the newly engaged.

Happy gals.

And one tired fiance.
