Life's a Beach

We had tons of fun this past Saturday at the beach with some friends. We discovered that Aliana loves the water and the sand, except when she got it on her face. Ethan wanted nothing to do with sand or water when we first arrived. He stopped walking as soon as he saw the sand and said he wanted to go home. Soon after we got his swimsuit on, Elisha took him out and he loved it. He was even content enough to play with his friends without his daddy right by his side.

See he does smile. When he doesn't know he's having his picture taken.

Ethan was grumpy and wanted nothing to do with taking pictures.

Charleston Day 3

We knew that we wanted to take a carriage ride through Charleston, because there was so much history and city to see, and so we saved it for our last day. Every time a horse carriage came by Ethan would stop to watch them, so we knew he would love it. This beautiful Big Red Barn was located right in the middle of the city. It was perfect! Ethan enjoyed petting the horses as long as he was being held by dad and Aliana cried when her hand touched one, luckily they both enjoyed the ride. I am glad that we were able to get away for a few days and experience this amazing city!

This was our transportation. Ethan loves buses and had a great time riding it.

This bridge was just amazing.

Charleston Day 2-The Battery & Fort Sumter

We headed to Battery Park and were amazed at the beauty around it. It's bordered by 2 rivers and beautiful homes across the street. In the afternoon we took a very relaxing 30min ferry boat ride to Fort Sumter. It was the place where The American Civil War began, when Confederates fired upon it. We did lots and lots of walking and the kids did surprisingly well, only have a few meltdowns toward the end of the day. Ethan even cooperated for me and posed for a few photos, and that rarely happens.
