South Carolina

After a week being home from Indiana, we headed down to South Carolina for a few days. We stopped by Nannie and Papa's on the way down for lunch and to catch up a little. It's always nice to see them, even if it's a short visit.

Benji and Katie came over for a day to spend some time with us- we are so happy they could make it. We weren't sure if they could because we were there in the middle of the week, but thankfully they both had the day off!

Zoe was waiting for something to drop... even if it was just ice from the ice cream!

Dustin's parents live across the street from a park, so we headed over there to get out of the house some and get some energy out!

Rachel figured out how to advance to the next Elmo YouTube video... the kid's addicted!

Dustin and his mom took Rachel to the library for a story time one morning. After the story the kids got to play with toys for a while. (I stayed home to get some work done)

Dustin's dad just started a new job-Yea! But that meant that he was out of town for the first couple days that we were there. Rachel was so excited that he was back and they had some good quality reading time!

A church about half an hour from Dustin's parents put on a big event for the July 4th weekend. We were happy that the event happened on the Friday before so we could make it. Honestly, we didn't know quite what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised!

Rachel rode her first ride- a carousel! She had a blast on it!

Then we watched the fireworks. She loved them, too! She squealed and clapped and said "boom" after nearly every one!
