Can't seem to stop smiling....

Just saying.....

Family, Friends, Fishing and Fun.....

Family, friends, fishing and fun!!  We were blessed with a fun weekend visit from Uncle Ryan last week, which included many hours fishing on the new boat!!  In the end, they only got two Ling's, we sure hoped for more, but oh well...

Saturday brought abundant sunshine, so we took to the water and had a fun picnic meet up with our dear friends, the Metcalf family, for more fun, fun, fun out at James Island!!!  The kids had a blast searching for agates, special "keeper" rocks, short hikes and KK even found a cool swing that they all got to play on!!!  

                                                          

                                                     

The weekend came to an end with Ryan getting his new love, Jack!!!  What a lucky dog (and human)!

                                       Ryan and Jack....

All and all, it was another fun and wonderful weekend! 

Sunshine makes for a campfire night...

Great night for a campfire out back!  One just has to LOVE summer weather in May!!!

Spring Break Camp Trip..

We just returned from our second annual Spring Break camp out with our dear friends, the Metcalf family. As expected, this year proved to be just as fun as last year!! We enjoyed hours of fun that included: long dog walks, searching the beach for agates (Kate is the master Agate finder), Ross did sword building, scavenger hunts, football games, chalk drawing, races, great campfires and awesome company! This year, the Ward family joined us on day two. We had a great time visiting with them and watching the kids put together a race around the camp loop... Kailey's long legs won the first place spot, but all kids did such an amazing job!  We are very blessed to have such amazing friends!! I tell you what, we just got home and I already can't wait until next year!!

Camp Fire Tonight...

Ahhh... Enjoying a campfire and some natural frog "music" tonight....

Spring Break is finally here....

Spring has sprung in our town... Flowers are in bloom, the weather is gorgeous (and dare I say warm), but most of all Spring Break has arrived!!!!! Yay!!! I am sooooo excited, because this will bring the second annual camp trip with our friends!! We are planning for sunny skies, beach play, hikes and campfires.... Ahhhhhh! It will be so much fun and I can't wait!!! :)

Before our trip though, there is a Salmon Derby for Rick to fish in (and hopefully WIN), Easter celebration and a few very important birthdays! Happy birthday to my wonderful Dad and both of Rick's wonderful parents!! Wish we lived closer and could celebrate your special days with you all!!

Happy Spring Break everybody!!!!
