• Travel & Vacation: Parks Near Charleston We Love!

    Hanging out at Mount Pleasant. Notice the huge bridge above them, the girls always enjoy coming to Waterfront Park.

    If you are looking for a great spot to fish near Charleston you can go on the pier of Mt Pleasant next to Waterfront Park.  The girls always enjoy seeing pictures of the fish then walking down the pier checking out all the fish the people have caught that day.

  • Skipper Being a Good Sport

    Skipper being a good sport after getting chased by the kids with the water bucket.  Good thing she loves water!

    Our guard dog…..although she has more bark than bite.  She is great at hunting squirrels, protecting the house & yard, and playing with the kids.  Skipper is always happy to see you and willing to nibble on a treat.  It is nice having a dog around the yard.  She has been known to chew a few papers, garden hoses, flipflops, and other random things, but otherwise she is on her best behavior.

    Lounging on the driveway watching all the activity outside and ready to pounce on a squirrel in a moments notice.

  • Cousins Night Out!

    We ended our fun adventures in town that evening with a special treat! Ice cream cones!!!! This is the only picture of the 5 of them, everyone was having so much fun playing I didn’t want to make them stop to pose for a picture! 🙂

    Paul and Mirm were able to get away one night to meet friends and spend some quiet time together so we kept the kids.  Since Jake was working when Paul & Mirm left I took the crew to Par Tee Time which has bounce houses, batting cages, and miniature golf for the kids.  After Par Tee Time we picked up some pizza, had a picnic in the park and played.  We ended our night out with the cousins at Bruster’s for ice cream cones than headed home to get everyone showered and ready for bed.

    Whose up for a game of miniature golf?

    Playing at the park

    I had a blast with the kids.  They did really well bouncing around and playing together.  Thankful for some extra time with my nieces and nephew.  The girls always enjoy their time with their cousins. A lot of great memories of their time with us!

  • Family Fun: Our Cousins Came for a Visit

    Nano bugs play time

    Earlier this year Jake’s sister and her family came to visit us.  We had a blast spending some extra time with them.  The kids played well together and we were able to squeeze in a lot of fun activities.  Thankful for time spent with family.

    Going for a ride on the go cart or “green monster” as the girls like to call it

    It takes a team to change a baby doll diaper! 🙂

    Yes, that is a snake in his hands!
