Some Family Pics






We had an awesome family vacation with Jason's family in Charleston - Folly Beach, SC. When we left Myrtle Beach from Teri Lynn's wedding we drove to Charleston for some more beach time. My parents joined us there for the first few days.

The closest beach to Charleston is Folly Beach, which is actually an island about fifteen minutes away. It is a beautiful place and our condo was on the beach with the pier just a few feet away. We spent lots of time in Charleston, but the main road in Folly is pretty awesome too. There are shops and seafood restaurants up and down the street.

Charleston is a gorgeous city with so much to do. It is very old and the Victorian houses are spectacular. We went to Charleston almost every day. One day we walked around and checked out the market, went to several shops, rode the trolley to Waterfront Park and Pier and took a carriage ride through the historic part of Charleston. It was a really hot day so we let the kids run through the fountains in their clothes to cool off and they loved that. Everyone that went with us was able to do the carriage ride and that was also a lot of fun and very interesting. It was a long, but great day.

Jason, Robbie, Kasey and Donald went deep sea fishing one day. They caught a lot of fish and even a few sharks. Unfortunately, Jason was sea sick the entire time. The next night Jason cooked some of the fish and it was great.

We had one day with just the four of us because everyone else went shopping or other places. Of course Brady and Jason played baseball and then we went to beach and went out on the pier. It was a really nice day with just us and the kids.

We all took a boat ride to Fort Sumter one day. It was a neat place, especially at the very top. It was really windy, but the view of Charleston was awesome.

We had a great time and we will definitely visit Charleston-Folly Beach again.

Myrtle Beach Vacation 2011

My parents were on vacation with us in Myrtle Beach so they could also attend the wedding. We stayed at an awesome condo that had a pool with a lazy river, waterfall and big enclosed slide. Of course Brady had an absolute ball, especially on the slide. It was pretty fast and dark and he was one of the youngest kids riding it, but he loved every minute. We even went down with Emma, and she liked it okay too.

Brady and Emma also liked the beach. Emma liked eating the sand, but she really enjoyed going in the ocean. Brady tried surfing, but was done with that as soon as he got saltwater in his eyes. Of course he had to play baseball on the beach too.

One night we went to eat seafood and the restaurant overlooked the water. Brady got to see some fish and hang out on the dock.

Teri Lynn and Erik's Wedding

We went the Myrtle Beach, SC for one of my best friends' wedding. Teri Lynn and Erik had a gorgeous wedding and reception overlooking the ocean. It was a great time and Teri was a beautiful bride. My kids loved the reception. They both had a great time dancing and Brady made a new friend that he ran around with all night.

Baseball in Huntsville, AL

We went to Huntsville, AL to see our friend Stevie play baseball. We got to see him pitch the first night we were there and it was very exciting. Brady even got a player to toss him a ball when he was coming off the field. He was so excited and then he had Stevie sign it for him after the game. The second night they had fireworks after the game and they let the kids in the stands run the bases. Brady was more excited about running those bases then I have ever seen him about anything. He was the smallest kid out there, but he didn't care.

Oh yeah, and I guess you can see from these pics that Emma had a little accident. She fell the day before we left to go to Huntsville and caught herself with her nose.
