Down by the seashore, Where life is a little Easier

Ahh, the beach! There is really nothing like it! Nick had to go to Charleston for work, so we all went with him. Abby and Luke were with us that week, so they came with us. We had a great time! I was a little nervous to take 5 kids to the beach...but we could not have had a better time. The weather was great, there was no one there, and the kids had the best time! The kids started out making sand castles and moats and Polly pocket pools, and then spent the majority of the time in the water. Christopher made some friends while we were there (surprise, surprise! The kids does not meet a stranger!) and they caught some fish with their buckets. Nathan wanted to walk up and down the coast. He was not a fan of the dry sand. He hated it....and he was only a fan of the water if someone was holding him. He really just preferred chasing after the birds and trying on every one's shoes. We went to Kiawah Island, and I think it was my favorite of all. It is days like today that make me miss Charleston! The first day in Charleston, we took the kids the fountains downtown. They loved it. Even Nathan! The kids had a blast getting sprayed and playing around. The next day we went to the beach and on our way back home, we stopped at the Angel Oak Tree. It was amazing! We couldn't believe that we had never been there in the 3 years that we lived there. The kids had a great time checking it out. What fun memories!
