We went to Charleston to visit the Inmans from July 15-18th. It was a quick trip sandwiched between other trips, but we had a blast as usual and were so happy to spend time with them. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and went to their neighborhood pool and stayed home for dinner.
Monday was beach day at Isle of Palms! We packed lunches, filled Sara's van full of people and beach gear and had a really fun day. Myra Grace played some tunes for us while we packed the car.
Hattie, Sam, Carley in the middle. Julia, Lydia, and Myra Grace in the back!
The water was warm and it wasn't too rough so the older kids were in the waves most of the day.
Lydia crashed after lunch and actually fell asleep! I'm not sure she has done that on the beach since being a baby...and maybe not even then! It was just a short nap and then she was ready for some ice cream :)
Sam was hilarious with his ice cream. He got an Klondike bar which he took a few bites out of before dropping in the sand...I washed it off and he ate it but it was the biggest mess. The girls kept laughing at the only boy in the group...they weren't sure what to make of this crazy guy :)
Love this group!
The annual "after beach" shot while we wait for Sara to pull closer so we don't have to lug all this stuff through the parking lot!
Hattie really bonded with Sam, it was sweet to see their developing friendship.
On Tuesday we went to the water park! It was such a nice facility and the bigger kids could do all the rides while Sara and I hung out with Hattie at the kiddie pool.
All the kids raced down this huge slide...I think Sam had some trouble getting going because he was way in the back. From L-R...Myra Grace, Julia, Lydia, Carley, and Sam
Our last day :( So sad to leave but what fun memories we made!
