Mom and I tried the aquarium but were not impressed. For the price, it wasn't nearly hands on enough for a 2 1/2 year old. Sam loved it, viewing the fish Bjorn-style. He was wide awake for the entire 2 hour trip. Many days he was determined to hang out with big sister even at the water park, Splash Zone. The Charleston Children's Museum was another morning. I'd forgotten how fun that place is (and how small!). Pappy and gj love their sugar, so each day held some element of a cookie, ice cream, key lime pie, or dinner dessert. Corinne came to know these as 'special snacks' and tried to talk us into one at every opportunity.
We even all went on a 'road trip!' to historic Beaufort where I was able to catch up with my college friend, Britney and son, Ryan. The annual lunch at Plums was yummy. Ryan tried to order a baby brother, but Britney wasn't buying!
Sam puts on a pirate face. Arghhh!
Other events on the agenda: face decorating,
and neighborhood swimming pools.
Corinne really loves the water again this year. She has been busy watching a few of her older friends go under the water and dive for rings, jump in, and simply swim in the pool. She gets more and more brave with each visit. Today she attempted to pick up diving rings herself by holding her breath underwater for several seconds. I'm thrilled and anxious for her for each attempt. Next up, swimming lessons!
Pappy and gj, I'm sending the key lime pie, cookies, homemade ice cream and other sundries your way. My waistline is complaining. :-) Thanks for such a great time.

We too had a wonderful time!!! There is so much to see and such good food to eat in Charleston! Being with you and the children was just icing on the cake! We'll be back.
Man, that is quite a face. What, was Britney goosing Sam or what? :-)
We can't wait to see Corinne & Sam in a couple of weeks....oh, and you parents too of course.
