We had an extended Independence Day celebration. We usually go to Kiawah Beach on the 4th with Charles' family, but his sister & mom had to work that day. So....the kids and I went to Kiawah with his family on Wednesday (the 2nd) on their day off and then we went to Folly with Charles on the 4th! I didn't get ANY sunburn on Wednesday (which is amazing); however, I was not so blessed on Friday. I'm in a bit of pain today. The kids enjoyed boogie boarding. Then Andrew fell off and landed on an oyster shell, resulting in a pretty bad cut on his foot. You'll see him in the pictures getting some treatment from the lifeguard. He was quite upset over the whole event; although, he did lots of attention for the rest of the day and an icecream from Grandma! Friday night, we went to Charles' sister's house and had a nice dinner and then we shot some fireworks! They had a blast (except for Andrew, who is dreadfully afraid of fireworks!) He stayed far away with us in his uncle's truck! (Charles has some pictures of the evening on his camara. I'll load some once he emails them to me!)
My parents are in Atlanta for their annual trip to see the Braves on the 4th and 5th (my dad's birthday!) My mom gave him this as a surprise for his 60th birthday. Well, he turns 63 today and they've been going each year since! I don't think that she intended it to be an annual trip...just worked out that way! ;)
