We took our first long road trip down to SC in July. First a rehearsal dinner on Friday night, then a wedding on Sat night, followed up by a LaGuardia family vacation at Kiawah Island for the whole next week. As soon as we made it down to SC we met up with the Francis/Brewer family at Folly Beach so the kids could see the ocean. Yes, they have both been to the ocean/gulf before, but they don't really remember it. This was the first time that they truly enjoyed the sand and the ocean. So much fun!
Little trip to the Charleston Aquarium with Papa Joe before the wedding.
Checking out the small boat for the kids to play and explore.
The newlyweds! Emily and Tj congrats! We had such a great time at your wedding!
Beautiful setting and so much fun to celebrate with them.

Then turn around and go under the tent and patio for the reception. The food was stationed inside this beautiful old plantation house.

Our big boy wanted to sit up in this tree
Family trip to catch some crab. The hardest part was to decide who was going to stay home with the little kids. Ok and trying to keep Caden and Joey from netting each other and scaring the crabs off. Brings back memories from when we used to go down to Kiawah when we were younger.

Sammie enjoying the sand and shallow ocean water
cleaning the crabs with Papa Joe, and yes they did eat some of it and enjoyed it!
I wish that I could have posted all of the pictures that we took in trying to get at least one decent picture. So funny! Not to mention all of the parents yelling and trying to get the kids attention. If you walked by you would have thought we lost our mind! Ha! That didn't happen until at least day 4! Ha Ha!

Some of my cousins were also down in SC with their families. Their kids are a bit older than ours and enjoyed pulling them around in the raft in the shallow water. The kids loved it!
gotta love the sleeping babies at the beach
Treasure hunt with Papa Joe on the beach to find the buried treasure
On the way home we stopped at an Amish store for some dinner.
Made it all the way thru vacation and they still like each other!
