Beach Vacay Part 1

Saturday (the 12th) was the boy's last t-ball/ baseball game of the season as well as the day we trekked to the beach!

First- tball. 
Ballers
Their team
Hunter's up to bat
Ashton gets a hit
Sheppy and his buddy, Connor

Then off  to the beach.  This post will cover Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  You know me and pictures.  It would be TOTALLY overwhelming if I tried to post a whole week's worth of pics in one post.

We went to Isle of Palms.  Mom and dad rented a house right on the beach (though the house was not the most awesome house- the location and the fact it actually had a yard made it a good fit for us).  My brother (who lives in CA) and his family were able to come as well as my youngest brother who just graduated from Clemson.

Saturday

The first trip down to the ocean
LOVE him!- My nephew, Caelum
Ashton tentatively taking it all in
Owen and Shep charging in
Hunter
Sandy toddler gets carried back in a bucket

Sunday - Mother's Day

The guys got all secretive and surprised with lunch and tea with flowers and hand made crafts from the kids.  Chad and the boys made me cards and got me 2 books.  It was such a sweet mother's day


The Mother's Day spread



The mommies

Ashton broke out in hives are first night at the beach.  By Wednesday they were finally gone. 

Our group shot- Chad had to leave after dinner on Sunday as he couldnt miss work

Another group shot... the wind caught my shirt

Chad bothering me

My mom and dad :)


Settlers of Catan- Anna skunked us!

Monday
Uncle Zach giving rides- Hunt is up

Caelum decides he is big enough to do this too

Shep's turn- Uncle Zach got his workout

Ashton loving the sand for the little bit of time he was able to stay out before his hives came back

So we decided to fly a kite (by we, I mean ANNA) right beside our house.  A not so smooth handout between Owen and Shep led to the kite ended up on top of the neighboring house.  oops!

Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesay, I will add Tuesday, Wednesday's pictures.

  1. Looked like fun! We will definitely bring Settlers when we come in July. We LOVE that game! Your family is so fun and I'm so glad the whole Ashton clan could be together again!
