Assateague July 2012

We had a perfect weekend camping on the beach filled with sun, surf, and lots of wildlife sightings

The Assateague herd seems to have grown in the past year. The grazing groups were quite large, and we even saw some small foals.

We discovered the Berlin farmer's market and stopped by to load up on fresh produce and seafood. We picked these feisty soft shell crabs up from a fisherman selling out of the back of his pick-up truck at the market.

With the help of Mark Bittman and YouTube, Giselle prepped crabs for grilling for the first time

But they ain't no match for The Awesome Seafood Wrangler of Assateague!

Not sure if we had enough beach though...

The water was warm and the waves inviting

This horse fly visited our shade tent but didn't bite anyone (thankfully). They have very cool eyes but are not particularly friendly.
