Cheer Camp

LG enjoyed another week of FPD Cheerleading Camp this summer!

When I picked her up I asked, "Did you have a snack?"

Her response was, "Of course we did, Mama...would it be camp without a snack? Noooooo, we would STARVE if we didn't have a snack!

Loving America

We had a great 4th...we headed to the pool mid-afternoon, went home & changed and headed back out for snow cones, rock wall, balloons, slides, train rides, face painting, cotton candy, bouncy, glow sticks & fireworks.


Hugs...................Who said you can't share a snow cone?

Back at Tybee

Daddy flew to New York with some buddies for a golf trip at Oak Hill, so, what did the girls and I do? We headed to Tybee with Honey. The trip down was quite interesting...we had 1 cat, 4 dogs, 2 adults, 2 kids and ALL our stuff! LG was watching the movie Underdog & everytime Wiggles heard a dog bark on the movie she started barking...I can now say that it was hilarious; while I was "stuck" driving in the car, not so hilarious.

Riding waves, sand castles, popsicles, naps, reading, Papa's arrival, AJ's, Yacht club pool/lunch with Martha, MJ diving board, swimming to Honey, Lachlan, meeting friends at pool & beach, playing tag, boogy boards, MJ riding waves in float, MJ dumped by wave out of float - woops, Stingrays take-out, catching up with Mimi on porch, Marlin Monroe's, Band at Social.

On the ride home we added Papa to the mix and believe it or not, he slept...

We arrived just in time for dinner at 6:30. The girls ate & then immediately left to go play outside with the other kids. It's so satisfying to watch them reunite with their friends from last summer, let them roam & feel safe. Daddy & I unpacked while Honey & Papa took the girls to the Pavillion for popsicles. MJ went for a little swim in the lake (in her clothes). The girls were so excited they could hardly go to bed!
