A Day with Friends

We went to the Brock's house to spend times with our friends.

Ben and Amy came back to Georgia for thier high school reunion.

They wanted for the old gang to get together.

The kids played football outside forever.

Fourth of July Pool Party

Happy Fourth of July!

The kids played sharks and minnows all afternoon.

Madison enjoyed hanging out.

If the guys weren't playing cribbage they were playing other games.

And we shot fireworks.

The Mountains

Kaye's dad lives in the mountains. We went up to house sit for him while they were away. We, of course, had letterboxes picked out, so we went to Boggs Creek first. The kids love to play in the creek.

A deep hole!

The perfect place to slide. Pierce slid first.

Then Gabe.

Next is Jamie.

Gabe and Jamie are about to go down.

Jamie is starting to slip and grabbed Gabe.

They had a blast here.

Goggles ready and looking for fish. Too funny!

The moms had fun reading while they played.

Look at those cute kids sitting in the waterfall.

Well, that was day one in the mountains.

Day two was tubing at Pappy's.

And they are off to the river.

Jodie and I were hooked together.

Pierce would hang on too.

Jodie and Pierce wanted to walk for awhile.

Pierce would help the ladies if they got caught on a rock or under the branches. Here he is hanging with Kaye.

At the end, there was a good sized rapid. So, we had to go back and ride over and over and over. Gabe went on his knees.

Gabe and Jamie went together.

We then went to Vogel State Park and the kids played putt-putt.

We saw some baby birds. Too cute! And played for a long time at the beach area!

The end of the day!

The next day we headed to Hiawassee to the beach area. We ate a picnic lunch and then the kids played in the lake.

Pierce is too cool for words!

We went to High Shoals Falls. Long walk but 2 cool falls.

This is the lower falls. We were bummed cause we hoped we could let the kids play in the waterfall.

There was a lot of pouting cause they can't play in the upper falls either.

But we found the creek so they could play.

But, DANG, it was cold.

We had a blast!

Letterboxing Trip to Charleston

While the boys were at camp and Kaye's girls were visiting Pops, Kaye and I took a boxing trip to Charleston. We started out in downtown and walked our butts off looking for boxes.

They were everywhere and took us to amazing sights.

We were waiting for people to move from where one of the boxes was hiding. So it was photo time.

The pineapple is a symbol of Southern hospitality. Learned something new!

We went to an old Confederate cemetery. Those were some of my favorite boxes. The cemetery was beautiful.

We then went to Edisto Beach. We went to the coolest Serpitarium around! Snakes EVERYWHERE! I could have stayed and watched them for hours.

They also had alligators and turtles.

We went to the Angel Oak tree. It was huge.

Then we were off to the Isle of Palms. We hung out at the beach for about an hour. Then found some boxes.

Next we headed over to Fort Moultrie. We got some boxes and learned about Fort Moultrie. This is where we stamped in with beach, water, and Fort Sumnter off in the distance. Cool!

Just putting a box back.

Kaye and I had a great time. We laughed our heads off. Got a lot of boxes. Saw some amazing sights and ate and ate and ate SEAFOOD!
