Boys of Summer

I love my time with my boys!  And summer is a fun time for days together.  I drove to Indy to spend Tuesday night through Friday afternoon with Cade, Kasen, and Cam.  Games of Uno, long bike walks, a few hoops, play time in the playroom, and finally on the last day we got to use the pool.















The following Monday I got to spend my day in CR with Landon and Owen.  Landon spent the morning at Kirkwood at a science camp.  Owen tried to teach me Settlers of Catan - a game I never did really understand.  We picked up Landon at noon, had lunch and enjoyed the afternoon of games and science experiments.

Hilton Head, SC with the Kahlers

Thursday, July 2 we met the Kahlers at the CR airport to fly to Hilton Head, SC!  Both legs of the trip went well - CR to Atlanta and then to Savanaha.  We loaded our rented car and drove to the Surf Watch Marriott at Hilton Head.  We checked into our three bedroom, three bathroom condo around 11:00 pm and settled in.

We rented a cabana and enjoyed going back and forth
from the beach to the pool.
