South Carolina Summer 2017

Next Stop: South Carolina! South Carolina is always about hanging out with family. My kids love, love, love going there because its the only place they have cousins! They both would rather sit around with their cousins and do NOTHING than do anything with us.  South Carolina is always about good old fashioned family fun.

Big cousin.  Little cousin.

They played an obscene amount of basketball.

Water balloon fights were another daily occurrence.

Uncle Timmy is 50!

My brother turned 50 on July 19th, but since we weren't going to be there at that time, we decided to celebrate early.  We rented an electric boat and went on the Lake for some snacks, drinks and cupcakes, followed by dinner and The Pizza Bank, which is a local restaurant in Kirkland that we grew up going to.  It was a gorgeous day.

Bella had gotten her hair straightened the day before but we it was getting a little frizzy so we put some curls in it.

We stopped to pick up some snacks for the boat and Uncle Tommy got Bella a VENTI CARAMEL CREAM

There was a fake alligator in one part of the lake, but Joziah was convinced it was real.  He was a little freaked out.

Joziah was still looking at that alligator as we left the area
