Uncle Gator's Kiawah Adventures

Oh yes, Friday afternoon on the beach! Umbrellas and tents as far as the eye can see, or at least as far as the beach cam will let us see. One thing 6 did notice, have all-you-all noticed the increasing number of hammer shirts on the beach? 6 doesn’t want to sound pompous, but he is a real trend setter! It is not too late for all of you to run over to Belk or in most of your cases Lord and Taylor and get you one of them hammer shirts! As each of you know, 6 has been expressing his displeasure with the whole idea of beach tents. Since my efforts to have the famous KICA ban them from the beaches, just like all the other beaches along the east coast have failed 6 says if you can’t beat them join them! 6 is a trend setter, but if he has to steal an idea, well it is not beneath him to do just that. A week or two ago, he noticed a group of people who did it right. They must have gone to Ollie’s and picked them up two giant tents. From my research, this would cost us about $100 bucks. So i...

It is about that time, where we need to start setting the ground rules for our fun old family vacation. Over the past years 6 has spent a tremendous amount to brain power developing an agenda, and ground rules in order to facilitate a restful, but fun vacation. At times there has been a few negative comments on my schedule but for the most part, they have been completely ignored. 6 has to wonder if he is appreciated, for doing his best to make this week long journey as productive as possible, so we can fit a years’ worth of fun into one week! This year 6 is going to take a different approach, this year 6 is going to ask for fun ideas that he can incorporate into the weekly activities. This way all you all can have ownership of what we do, instead of it being dictated to you. Since this is a blog and blogs are interactive, 6 wants each of you to come up with a fun family activity and submit it for the approval of the MVKB which is made up of one member, and that one member is 6. ^ ...

By now if you are not getting excited about vacation then 6 Just doesn’t know what to say. For if one follows the timeline for our all-time favorite flick, this is about this Saturday will be the day the Griswold’s go out to cut down the family Christmas tree! So get on the stick! Yes I do know for a fact that 5 was the all-time master of finding the perfect tree each year, for whit-out his expertise, we would have had some mighty dismal Christmas’s. As 6 sits here looking out over paradise, (6 thinks that he is going to sue KICA, because they must be reading 6’s blog…. 6 coined the phrase “Paradise” not some rich rube from KICA) one would have to be blind note to notice a line of blue umbrellas and right in front of them a row of tents, and on each side yards of empty beach….6 just doesn’t get it!   Hey, if anyone is looking for any last minute vacation gift ideas for me, 6 has one. 6 would like a big roll of that yellow do not enter tape. 6 would like someone to go out eac...
