July

We were home for a little of July and managed to fit a lot in. Mom/Dad joined a neighborhood Pickleball team and had a few matches. We are still learning but its a fun, social activities. We have inspired the kids and they started a neighborhood league for the kids. We also had our annual Oysterfest diner though the kids are still working up the interest to participate.


Avery (8 years, 11 months) - Avery was very excited to see July as that meant the end of  baseball season though we know she will miss the concession stands! In more fun activities for her, she celebrated her bestie's birthday, went to A&R workshop, went to an Atlanta United game and saw the Barbie movie.

Proud of her big brother!

Parker (11 years, 8 months) - July started strong for Parker with his baseball team winning their final tournament and his wiffleball team winning the World Series the next day. He also went the Darius Rucker concert which he said was "ok" (mom's opinion differed).

Carter (13 years, 2 months) - Carter was apparently too cool for pictures. He enjoyed playing wiffle ball and video games with friends and is cautiously looking forward to school starting again.

Siblings - July brought the end of baseball season where the siblings have spent a lot of tine recently.

We also got to celebrate Uncle Reid's birthday!

They spent time with neighborhood friends...

Saw some soccer...


And we fit in the OAR and Goo Goo Dolls concert.

Sullivan's Island - Out & About

With an extended trip, we had time to fit in several adventures. The Aquarium is always a hit and the kids enjoyed the extra activities set up for Shark Week while we were there. 


Carter and dad took a trip to Fort Sumpter and passed dolphins on the way/

There were several rounds of mini-golf and frozen ice.

We went on a ghost tour in Charleston which equally scared and bored the kiddos.

We visited the US Custom house where the kids signed the Declaration of Independence and then toured the basement dungeon.

And the kids took turns learning to drive the golf cart in empty parking lots.

And we ate lots of yummy food!
