Pool Party!

Today we went to our friends house for a tie dye crafting extravaganza! While we waited for everything to dry, we went over to the pool to cool off and play on the playground!

A Splashin' Good Time!

We had a blast at the water park, as you can see from the picture above, Brayden was sure worn out! He is our little swimming daredevil. There is no slide or tube he is too afraid to go on! He goes on everything! Our little swimmer...

Action Packed Day

What an action packed day we had! First we went to a friend's birthday party where we jumped in jump castles and ate lots of yummy food and cake! Then we went to the arcade and played some games! Then we saw the Minion's movie! We are worn out!

Just a Little Night Swimming...

The sound of the crickets, the night sky, the warm water, it was a perfect way to end the day!

Relaxing Day at Emi's After the 4th

Huddy Buddy has it made in the shade. 

Poolside dining. 

We enjoyed a nature walk in the afternoon after swimming. The boys had a great time running free. We tried to find wild berries but it must have been after season because we couldn't find any. :(

Happy Birthday America!

Gathering sticks for our homemade American Flag Wreath. 

Cutting the sticks to be just the right size for the flag. 

Playing "War" with friends on 4th of July while we waited for the parade to start outside. Inside in the AC while waiting was sure nice. :)

Playing in the pool after the parade with our best friend, AKA Grandpa. 

These America flags were so fun to make! We gathered sticks from the yard, then cut them until they were all the same size. Then we painted them red white and blue, and added "stars." We glued them together with a hot glue gun, then finally we hung them with a piece of blue ribbon, but you could use red or white ribbon as well. Fun! 

Everyone say hot dog! 

Ready for our classic American grill fest! What a spread! 

Doing pop-it's in the yard while we waited to go to the fireworks!

Picture perfect setting, fireworks over the inlet, Murrells Inlet. 

Our patriotic cupcakes turned out so cute! They were so easy too. All we did was made cupcakes out of already blue dyed cake batter. Then we whipped up some whipped cream with whipping cream, vanilla extract and sugar. Then we cut the stem's off of some strawberries and placed them on top of the whipped cream topping, that we had placed on top of the cupcakes. So easy, and so cute! Happy 4th of July!

A Day at Grayton Beach, Florida

We spent 12 hours at this beautiful state park. We made sure to get there at 8am to get a spot with a grill, and ensure a canoe. We had so much fun grilling out, going back and forth from the beach to the river, and canoeing in between! We really took advantage of God's Great Nature this day!

Children's Splash and Play Park

We had fun at the splash and play park near Aunt Del and Uncle Tony's house! Even though it was super hot! It was a great way for the kiddo's to get their energy out. :)

Dolphin Cruise!

We had sooo much fun on this dolphin cruise through the Gulf of Mexico! Free beer and soda's for the kids was included too, and unlimited! I think I must have had about 5 beers before it was all said and done. :) They just kept refilling our cups! They played music, and the best part was when Journey's "Dont Stop Believin' came on and the entire boat erupted into song together! Really awesome 90 minute trip and tour of the gulf. :) Plus the kids got to be the "Captain" and steer the boat!
