Vacation Day 6
Today I decided that we needed a day not on the beach...Addie had to much sun yesterday. So, after breakfast, Chandler suggested that we go to the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry. This is a great hands on museum especially for younger children. All three kids had a blast.
After the museum, we ate lunch at the Charleston Tea Company and had some dessert at the Cupcake! Then, the boys somehow talked me into taking them to Patriots Point to see the USS Yorktown.
Later that evening, we met up with my bestest, Allison, and had dinner at A.W. Shucks. This is a really great restaurant if you are looking for a restaurant in downtown Charleston. After dinner, we went down to the Battery for some photo's.

Vacation Day 5
"Look at my fishy Bubbie!"
Addie is getting better at walking in the waves.
"Bubbie, if you aren't gonna use your board, I will!"

Vacation Day 4
I bought both boys boogie boards...I guess I should have bought one for Addie too! She took Chandler's hostage so the boys were "fighting" over Bailey's. Later on, Addie gave Bailey's boogie board a mud bath...I guess it needed exfoliating.
The boogie boards were a great investment. The boys were entertained with them for 4 hours. Addie on the other hand got a little sleepy...
But the boys keep right on riding waves.
For dinner tonight, we went to a restaurant at the Bohicket Marina called Rosebank Farms Cafe. While we waited on our tabel, we walked along the Marina and looked at all the yachts and boats.

Vacation Day 3
Today, the boys went golfing with my cousin, Brian Benenhaley. First, we all had lunch at the Beach Club. At 1:00pm, the boys had a golf lesson with some of the pro's from the pro shop. After that, the three of them shot 10 holes of golf. The boys had a BLAST! That is all they talked about all afternoon! Luckily, Brian got a few pictures while they were on the golf course.
While the boys played golf, Addie and I went to the pool (it's much easier to take her to the pool when I'm by myself). Addie decided that she was "big enough" to "jump" off of the side of the pool and go all the way underwater!
Then, Addie decided she wanted to be a monkey....
But she is my little beach baby!

Vacation Day 2
All three kids enjoyed the water. The boys even played with their sister in the surf this morning.
The boys were trying to build a wall to block the water...so Addie decided she was gonna help...
they didn't want her help...so she just got in the "water hole" they had made!
That afternoon, we went to the pool for awhile...
After all the fun in the sun, we went out to dinner to the little pizza place in Freshfields Village and then had ice cream for dessert. The boys were very well behaved today and I am so proud of them!
All three kids were in the bed asleep before 9pm! It was a great day...we wish Kevin was here with us though!

Stone Mountain Part II
Although we were only at Stone Mountain for a day....I believe we took enough pictures for a week! The boys played mini golf...
Addie took her first ride on a train and this is what she thought about it:
When we rode to the top of the mountain, we tried to "push the boys off" (not really but they did have a good time taking tons of pictures that looked like they were falling off...I will post more of these pictures periodically).

Stone Mountain - SkyHike
On Friday, the kids and I, Uncle Danny, James and their boys, and Mimi and Poppi went to Stone Mountain. The first thing we had to do was SkyHike. 
It took us 3 hours (including waiting in line and going through the course). Uncle Danny and I took the 4 boys through the course while James took pictures. Poppi and Mimi watched Addie. !
While waiting in line, Chandler was a big talker! He was going to go first and on all 3 levels. He made it through the first 2 levels! Bailey wasn't really sure about going on it at all but he made it through the first level! Jaden and Jacob made it through all 3 levels, although Jacob almost jumped on Uncle Danny's back for some of the elements.
While we were on SkyHike, Addie decided that she wanted to play in the little creek. Mimi said that Addie just needed to stick her feet in the water.
When we got off of SkyHike, this is what I found....
Needless to say, everyone was having a blast!

Schools out for Summer...
FINALLY the boys are out of school for the summer!
CONGRATULATIONS, Chandler!
Chandler made one "B" and the rest "A"'s!
Chandler will be going to football camp Sunday-Tuesday and then spending a couple of weeks with the Villanueva's. Have fun!
CONGRATULATIONS, Bailey!
Bailey made one "B" and the rest "A"'s and "S"'s!
Bailey will be going to his Grandma and Grandpa's for a couple of weeks. Have fun!
Good job boys, I am so very proud of you both!
Sunday after dropping Chandler off at football camp, Addie and I will be driving to Greensboro, NC to spend the night with Allison. Monday morning, we will get up and drive the rest of the way to Winchester, VA to spend the week with Kevin before he flies out on Friday. Friday, Addie and I will start our journey back home, stopping in Greensboro for the night.
CONGRATULATIONS, Chandler!

Field Day at JES
As a kid, I can remember field day. It was the day at the end of the year when you were out of class ALL day and got to play outside and just have fun with all of your friends. I remember the three-legged race, the sack race, water balloons, running around chairs, and tug-a-war. It was a day of fun in the sun!
Now in schools, field day is usually more like field hour. I believe this is a real tragedy for the kids! This year at JES, the P.E. coach believed the same thing. She had enough activities planned to entertain the kids outside all day long.
On Tuesday (May 18th) afternoon, Addie and I went to watch Bailey in field day. It was a beautifully, warm day outside and the kids seemed to really enjoy themselves. The kids were split up according to classes and each class had to wear a different color. Bailey's class had to wear blue. They ran races, played kick ball, and even had a "jumpy thing" (this was only for third grade and under). 
We watched Bailey in the sack race. This was hilarious to watch these little 3rd graders trying to run, I know they should have hopped but they ran, in these huge sacks! We also saw Bailey in the hula-hoop race. I was never good at this, my hips never cooperated; but Bailey was one of the last 5 still standing! They got to play basketball in the "jumpy thing" and run the obstacle course. Bailey had a great time and it was good for all the kids to enjoy being outside while getting some exercise too!
On Thursday (May 20th) morning, Addie and I went back to the school for Chandler's field day. It was a little chilly that morning...but it didn't matter to the kids. I think they were just glad to be out of the classroom for the day! Chandler's grade was split up by gender. All the boys wore white while the girls were split up in two teams wearing either blue or red. We saw Chandler run several different races against another team of boys, including the egg race. They did the hula-hoop contest, and then they had some of the parents and teachers hula-hoop against each other...the kids loved it!
After that, they split the kids in two teams, boys against girls, for the train race. Each team had to make a train by holding on to the back of the person in front of them and they had to run down the "lane" without "breaking a link" in their train. It was good to see all the kids enjoying themselves in a friendly competition. They cheered each other on no matter what team was winning or losing. Coach Edwards did a really good job with the kids and field day!
