July 4th weekend trip

This weekend we all drove to South Carolina to my Aunt's house where I have never been but have always wanted to go. It's a 10 hour trip and I have just never had the opportunity. The kids did wonderful and we hope to make this an annual event for our family. This is my dad's side of the family and since both my grandparents have passed away, we are making every effort to keep in touch. We had a blast and loved it there.

"Ready to go swimming mama"




my aunt has 3 boys who are all avid in sports.... one played pro baseball for a season, one played baseball for the Citadel, and the youngest played football for Clemson. This is the middle one, Jay, who owns and runs ( with the youngest) a training and fitness center. W warmed up to him and let him help with his baseball skills. He was so proud of himself!





A Night Out With the Family



All the guys in this pic are mycousins... we are missing one who could not make it. Growing up it was quite nice to be the only girl! They all married wonderful girls that I get along with great!! We can't wait to go back!
