Summer

What a perfect time to reminisce about summer...when the leaves have fallen, the temperatures drop and we're searching for our warm woolens.

This past summer was spent primarily at Pawley's Island where Allan and the kids helped my sister-in-law with house/dog sitting and in renovating her kitchen. I worked and met up with them on the weekends and for my summer vacation.

The Pawleys routine went something like this...low tide crabbing, playing games and entertaining on the dock...high tide gearing up and taking the john boat to the "end" (the point on Litchfield beach that overlooks Pawleys). Evenings at Brookgreen Gardens. Throw in a couple of parties (including a reprise of Maclaren's 7th) with our "cousins" Reid and Kelsey and you get the picture.

Bloggers note: I discovered my camera takes awesome video but for some reason (okay...user error) most of the filming took place sideways. So just kind of turn your head when you get to that part. Also, I still haven't figured out how to embed the video link (I think smug mug should work but haven't figured it out yet) so you'll be rerouted there for the "viewing".

  1. well excellent song choice and MAN what a life! could your kids eyes be more beautiful?! i miss summer...

    so it looks like you can click the "share" drop down above your movie, and choose "link".... then go to the" embeddable Links" tab and copy what code you need (maybe start with "Blog-Medium"? and then in blogger inside your post click on the "edit HTML" tab to insert the code...

  2. loved this, tracy. great documentation of an amazing summer. love how you do a series of pictures to tell the story. great close ups--like kate said, it really shows off your kids eyes. love the backlit sun shots of maclaren, the crab shots of angus, and the shot of the dog in the bag on the boat. amazing. that is how every kid should spend his/her summer.
    only thing i hope you change for the next video/slideshow--get in the picture! :) (i'm bad at that, too...something all of us photog moms should work on.)
