Trip to Charleston

we went to charleston last week for hayes' 2nd birthday and july 4th. he had a great time visiting with his pal harper.

here he is returning a fish to the ocean that a man gave him from his cast net.


evening stroll along water's edge with harper

betsy stayed home and took care of lewis..was a nice little break for me. dave and i got to spend some time on the beach with hayes.

it took having his first helping of juice (i didnt leave enough milk), but aunt betty finally got him to sleep...

harper's day spa...exfoliating hayes's belly

there we go

and his legs..

phew..glad that's over

two little exhausted toddlers after a day at the beach...waiting for uncle wes to go get the car.

betsy's neighborhood had a fourth of july parade..happened to be on the 3rd, so we told hayes it was a parade for his birthday.

mom's exhausted

dave took hayes on a special birthday trip to the battleship to see the jets

special birthday treat..a sip of mom's coke

bulldog just relaxin' poolside

harper is extremely shy when there's a camera around.

harper always liked to help dave carry "lew-lis"

cooling off with a popcicle
