A Weekend In Charleston

We got an awesome treat this weekend. We went to Charleston, SC to visit our friends, Ken & Susan and their 3 kids. Susan & I used to coordinate the nursery together at church before they moved to Charleston 2 1/2 years ago. It was so wonderful to spend time with them, getting to see where they live. They love it there, and they should. It is a beautiful city. The kids had a blast. Christopher, Timothy & Caroline were so sweet about our kids ransacking their playroom & bedrooms. And our kids were thrilled about getting to explore someone else's toys!

We went to their pool, watched movies, the kids jumped on their jumpy. Since they each have two brothers, Hunter & Caroline got in some much needed girl time and literally spent HOURS playing Barbie's, dollhouse, Polly Pockets, Littlest Petshop, etc. We got to visit their church which was great. We walked arount downtown, went to the Children's Museum of the Low Country, and yesterday we went to the beach. The Haighs were VERY gracious hosts. It does remind me of how much they are missed, but it was so good to get to catch up. Below are some of the pictures from our fun times...

We went to the children's museum. The kids had a blast. This is Caroline & Parker "painting with water".

On Sunday we walked around downtown. They were having an arts festival. This is one of the many old & beautiful churches there.

Caroline is a cutie-pie.

The beach got busy on Memorial Day. We got there early so it wasn't a problem finding parking and a spot to sit down.

LeeAnn,
We were the ones truly blessed by your visit. It was great to catch up and see how much your kids have grown. They are precious, and you and Brent are doing a wonderful job parenting them. The pictures are great. Caroline wants me to tell you that, "Hunter was very, very fun to play with." We do hope that you will come back again.
Love,
Susan & the gang
