Charleston

We took our Memorial Day vacation early this year.  We went to Charleston, SC on Wednesday and came back on Saturday.  I am so glad we did, the weather was perfect while we were there & it rained every day after we left.  We had so much fun going to the beach, visiting historical battle fields,  self guided ghost town tours, roaming the town full of old buildings & just taking it easy.

A successful family vacation!

Braxton's Window...

Much to my dismay,  Braxton lost one of his upper front teeth.  He has been anticipating this for so long.  It seemed like everyone he knew, even those younger than him were loosing their upper front teeth, but him. Braxton was very excited to lose another tooth.  Although, for me it wasn't so exciting.  It meant that he was entering that awkward stage, you know the one where he has to grow to fit his new teeth.  I know Braxton is a very handsome kid, but all kids go through this stage and they all look a little awkward, right?

Strawberry Festival

On Saturday, we went to the Strawberry Festival.  We all LOVED the chocolate covered strawberries....

And of course, we couldn't pass up getting Strawberries.  We have LOVED eating them on pancakes, ice cream, and plain.  mmmm.....

However, we decided to try the boiled peanuts (since they are a big thing back here), and we all hated them.

After the festival, we decided since we were so close to Myrtle Beach that we would go play in the water for awhile.  The boys had so much fun.  They LOVED playing in the water & sand.
