we had such a great time at the beach this last week. we spent tuesday on the beach. on wednesday we spent the day walking around downtown charleston. then on wednesday night we went out to Sullivan's Island to take pictures of ourselves on the beach. they turned out so well! that day for lunch we ate at Hyman's Restaurant. griffin had to work until 4 am on wednesday night and so we slept in on thursday until almost lunch time. On thursday we just went shopping. we found ashley and griffin the shirts that they were searching for all over charleston!! plus for supper we ate at Bubba Gump's Restaurant. it was sooooo delicious! it was my favorite meal! that night it rained...okay it stormed. we were camping in our tent at a KOA site. we had never camped for more than one night before. it was so awesome to sleep with the rain hitting the tarp that we had stretched out over the roof of the tent. on friday it rained off and on. but we were able to get the last of the things we wanted to do done. then that afternoon we went putt putting and it started to rain really bad. it was a terrible storm. we were only able to get 1/2 of the course played and we had payed for unlimited! the manager was so nice to validate us for the next day too! so after we got everything packed up on saturday morning, we went to the putt-putt place and played both of the courses to the end! of course, griffin won both :-) then we drove up to clemson and my brother cooked the most amazing talapia. we had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows for gabe's birthday. i will enclose some pictures of the kids from the beach!
