Thrid Annual Birthday Bash

Wow. Where do I begin? I really am not sure......

We spent the weekend, once again, in Edisto. I am convinced that I am going to have to stop blogging about Edisto, because on the rare occasions that my father decides to log on and see what I'm up to, I am certain he will flip when he sees what we are really up to on his backporch!

In typical Edisto fashion, we kicked off the weekend with a Dance Party USA. As always, this is a testament to why we all have normal 9 to 5 jobs and are not currently pursuing something bigger in LA or NYC. We poorly reenacted Thriller.

But wait, look at that hair flip! Maybe it was me that poorly reenacted Thriller. Obviously, Meredith had the moves down. Come to think of it, it was her idea.....Hmm......

Jason was really good at Thriller too! I think MJ might be looking for some new back up dancers! I'm thinking about sending this picture in. Jason's a shoe in! Maybe he and Meredith have been practicing together.
Note to self, Emily. Any time someone suggests recreating the dance from a famous video and others willingly agree to give it a shot, chances are they've studied up on Darrin's Dance Grooves and have a pretty good idea what all the dance entails. Sit back down. You've never seen Darrin or his Dance Grooves. You can't dance!

Even Josh cut an uncharacteristic rug. Not sure that this is Thriller, though. Or, if it is, maybe he should borrow Jason's Dance Grooves DVD because I think he's doing it wrong!

Thriller took up a long time, and a lot of memory on my card in my camera. But I don't want you all to think others sat around and watched what we were up to. Oh no. Caison didn't let a little stress fracture get in her way of shaking that thang!

Friday was also Michelle's 29th birthday! We tried to convince her to try an upside margarita (I have no idea why anyone thought that was a good idea...oh wait! Yes I do! It was Weisman and several people tried it! Maybe it wasn't so bad afterall......) and in true Michlle form, she refused. Michelle didn't even drink her own drinks on her 21st! Why start on her 29th!? So, being the sweet husband he is, Jason took hers.True or False....Jason really enjoyed taking the upside down drink.In the past, we've spent Saturday on Otter Island. But this weekend, we hung out on the porch. Megan and Andrew were able to come down and join us for the day and night despite being in the middle of moving back to Columbia. We threw in the crab pots, but only caught one measly little crab. My dad and I talked to the guy at Flowers Seafood on 174 and apparently there is a drop in the number of blue crabs this year. Don't worry, we let our little guy go. But here he is!

Michael stayed in the river the entire time we were out on the dock. Every time we turned around, he was somewhere else....across the river at someone else's dock (no, not someone we knew) or hiding under the dock for so long that we thought he'd met his match and drifted out to sea.

We also played our usual game of horseshoes. I still haven't gotten over not having my camera to catch the historic moment of Vance, yes Vance, ripping his shirt off and throwing it to the ground in celebration of his win. Unbelievable...not the win...Vance ripping his shirt off. By the time I got back out there, he was clothed and acting normal. But, he was on fire that day. Here's a picture of Vance and Joey posing next to Joey's walk-off leaner. Linds and Dara should be so proud.

Saturday night was still more proof that no one should quit their day job. Michelle's parents added a whole new element to the Edisto trips...the karaoke machine! It hooks to the TV and everything. It was hilarious. Every took a turn. Alle and Caison belted out an awesome duet, though now I have no idea what they sang! Sorry girls! But here are several pictures of everyone singing.....well, almost everyone. My battery died!

It was a fun, fun weekend! After everyone left my parents came and I was able to stay in Edisto until today, Tuesday. I've got several things to post from my extended stay including The Battle of The Marsh which was a match up between a racoon and one of our dogs and the Second Wave of the British Invasion, but those may have to wait until tomorrow! Thanks to every one of my friends for making the weekend so much fun!

PS-WIS TV is running a segment on the 11:00 news about Firefly Vodka. They just called it sweet tea that packs a punch. I've been trying to tell y'all that!! Apparently Alle's consumption from the 4th only created a temporary set back. Sweet Tea was in full force this weekend!

Here are some other pictures from the weekend....

I'm not sure when we'll all get the chance to head back to Edisto. Hopefully it will be soon! I would never say that we needed a break from Edisto, but Edisto might need a break from us!
