Pleasant-ville!

What a wonderful week in Mt. Pleasant to celebrate the Fabulous Summer of 2013!

School starts next week! :/

Wounded Warrior Benefit

This weekend was the third weekend in the HJ Fox Classic Show Series. Kinsey is currently in 2nd place in the series and having a great time learning the ropes and making friends at her new barn. This weekend, she rode a new pony, Smooch, and was given the opportunity to show both days of the show, so we decided to take the camper and make a weekend trip out of the event. We all (including Chipper dog) had a wonderful time at the Georgia International Horse Park from cooking out with the SCEC crew to exploring the park by scooter. Thanks Kinsey for a fun time!

Clownin' Around

This was the second year that Kinsey, Max and Thomas have been able to participate in Kamp Keowee, the grandparent-operated camp at Lake Keowee. This year was a Karnival Kamp and all the grandkids had a ball at the midway games, kayaking, craft-making, and meeting new friends. Can't wait until next year!

Welcome Back to Fowl Cay

We just returned home from another amazing week in the Exumas, Bahamas with the "Pit, Pat, Put Clan." It was a wonderful time full of snorkeling, beach-combing, shark-petting, swimming, tubing, and memory-making. I'm hoping to post a slideshow of more pictures soon!

But for now, it's off to Kamp Karnival...

Sea World Suprise

As we were heading on our road trip down to Ft Lauderdale to catch our flight to Fowl Cay, we surprised the kiddos and celebrated Jack's 41st birthday with a day trip to meet Shamu. The weather was perfect, cool and overcast with and occasional shower keeping the crowd away and the lines short. The whale, dolphin and pet shows were our favorite and the Shamu and Atlantis coasters were a blast. The new Antarctica exhibit was super COOL, too! ;) What a great experience!

Therapy

Picture of last week's pin removal and this week's therapy session. He sure worked hard (and flirted hard) for his therapist, Ms. Jessica!

Berries x 3

This morning, we met up with the Griners to do a little "farming" at two different berry patches. Got a pretty good haul, if I do say so!

Keowee Celebration

Big news to celebrate...Max's cast is off and pins are out! To commemorate his big announcement, we took a little trip to Keowee Springs to finally get wet this summer. Everyone had a great time at Nanny and Papadad's from catching fish to trail riding. What a fun weekend!

Forever Friends

While Kinsey was away at camp, Max and I enjoyed some time at home with Granny, plus a special visit from my old high school best bud, Erin, and her two precious boys. The three boys hit it off immediately and became instant friends. Although the visit was short, the memories of seeing each other for the first time in over 6 years will remain. Love you guys!

Off to Camp
