Every Friday, Charles & I look forward to our date night! The kids spend the night with my parents every Friday so we take advantage of some alone time! We usually go out to eat, to the mall, a movie or some typical date type activity. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to grab a sandwich at Subway and head out to Folly Beach for an early evening picnic. It was so peaceful and relaxing after a long week at home with the kids! (who are getting quite bored with summer already :) Anyway, we watched the sunset and took this self portrait! It was quite humbling to sit and just watch as the ocean waves hit the shore. Our beach trips are usually busy and filled with collecting shells, building sand castles or jumping waves. It was nice to just sit in awe of God's amazing creation. To think that the mighty ocean is held in God's hand and knows right where to stop yet can be seen as far as the eye can see... WOW!Sunday, June 29, 2008
Ah Sweet Summer...

June Fishing
We just returned from our annual trip to Clark Hill Lake. We stayed in a cabin there with my parents. We started joining them there about 3 years ago (prior to that, they did "tent camping"... once they decided to do my kind of camping... you know, a cabin with a/c, I decided that camping is not so bad!) The first year, the kids were looking forward to the trip and kept asking when we were going, to which we would reply, "June." Well, Andrew then started asking, "When are we going June fishing?" The trip then adopted that name!
Andrew is hiding out to attack with the water gun!!
Every afternoon, the kids looked forward to fishing with Papa.
The highlight of the trip was when Andrew caught the biggest fish of the trip...his foot long 1 1/2 pound bass. 
Charles was just with us over the weekend because he didn't have any vacation time yet... :( but we really enjoyed that time with him!

Rebecca is saying "Excuse me?' I just had to capture that expression on camara!

After a long day of fishing...dreaming about the one that got away!
