The Vacation...

After the wedding was over, we enjoyed a few days of relaxing on the beach before we returned home to TX. David's favorite part of the "o-cen" was running from the waves as they came in. He wasn't afraid, he just liked playing the game!

He also dug a few holes, but he didn't sit for long. And it was SO HOT/HUMID while we were there. When he was done, he just took off for the steps and said "bye-bye, go to Papa's house!" Even if no one else was following him.

Usually, Mimi follwed closely behind him. Here they are going on a walk/run down the beach together.

David also enjoyed spending time with Papa Dock. He is stealing some of Papa's drink here... he is so loved (or spoiled)!

David's birthday is August 11th and Aunt "Cour-tee's" birthday is August 10th, so before the newlyweds headed back to Greenville we had a small birthday celebration with cake.

David LOVED it and his whole face lit up! After they blew out the candles he yelled "do it again!", so guess what... we re-lit the candles and sang again!

Here is my attempt at a picture of David and myself, which he would have nothing to do with. You'll notice there are not many pictures of Trey, he got really sick and only got to go to the beach for a half day. He was so overheated and dizzy, he spent the rest of his vacation indoors or in bed. Poor guy!

The other great part about our short vacation was that some friends joined us, all the way from TX! Jake, Anne, Ben, and Holly flew in late Sunday to enjoy a few days of sitting on the beach, fishing in the Inlet, and eating. And thats exactly what we did... we made sure they got a great taste of SC including a Low Country Boil, fresh seafood (including She Crab soup, one of my favorites), SoHo sushi, and even some Groucho's STP's! We had a wonderful time and hope they can join us again next summer!
