I’m not sure how to be honest, but we (I) did. I thought I had things pretty well planned. Activities to keep the girls (all 6 of them) busy from the time they got there until bed at a reasonable time – but I guess it was bed at a reasonable time that I didn’t…
Cailee wanted her 9th birthday party to be a slumber party with a unicorn theme. So, totally in my element with significant help from Etsy (just to clarify: my element is finding cool handmade things on Etsy and buying them, not making them by hand) – I ordered a unicorn cake, unicorn invites, unicorn favor…
It was another good time in the mountains with the Hamletts. We got there a little early and spent the day in Blowing Rock. It was rainy so we decided to go to the leaning house museum. It looks kinda cheesy, but it’s right on the main stretch and we pass it every time we…
Today’s a big day in our house. Connor and Cailee are back at school again together. Connor’s starting Kindergarten at Little River with Ms Dymond, the same teacher Cailee had for Kindergarten and Cailee is in third grade with Ms. Freeman. We don’t know much about Ms. Freeman but are hoping for good times. I’ve…
Something that stands out to me from my childhood was my parents waking us up one time – it seems like it was around this time of year – and declaring it was kid’s day. I don’t even remember what we did but it was great fun and something I’ll never forget – so while…
You’d think after three years (if you count Hilton Head) of our Pirate Adventures with Stinky/Sneaky Pete the kids would tire of the activity – but no, they insist (or at least expect we’ll do it every year at the beach). The guys that run it are great (maybe teachers by day) and the kids…
Two firsts for us this year – we never realized at Bohicket Marina they also do Hermit Crab Races and we’ve never visited the Angel Oak (never even heard of it actually). But first to the races. The kids had been begging all week for Hermit crabs. I’d never had a hermit crab although given…
Today was fishing tournament day. We didn’t quite get there for the early session (in retrospect that was probably a mistake), so we got set up to fish and the bottom fell out – it rained and rained. The kids were determined though – they kept fishing no matter the rain. I even took cover…
Every year we head into Charleston at least once so this trip was no exception. There are a few things the kids look forward to – the fountains and the candy store. Yes, the same candy store we have at the mall back home, but maybe the difference is here they know we’ll let them…
