Summer Lovin'

We've had a busy summer! Here are a few pictures that I haven't posted yet.

 

We went to see Les Mis at Barter Theatre.  It was fabulous!

 We went to see several movies.

 We read a lot (even though they really didn't want to).

 We had fun with family (even at Wendy's for lunch).

 We went to the Adult Day Center again to visit with our friends there.  It is always such a blessing for us when we spend time with them.

 We caught lightning bugs!

 And just generally had bunches of fun!

Myrtle Beach 2013

At the end of July, we took our annual vacation to Myrtle Beach.

 

 Zaxby's is our official lunch stop while traveling to the beach.

 Parker and Claire took turns choosing movies to watch.  This was the reaction when it was Claire's turn.  She picked Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus.

 Parker had to visit his beloved haunted house that he would never dare to enter.  He just wants to stand and look at that grossness.  We certainly didn't let him look for long!

 We love eating at the restaurant on the pier so much that we ate there twice! It's called Pier 14, and it is delicious!

 We saw a movie!

 And rode lots of rides!

 And played putt-putt!

 We spent several hours in Ripley's Aquarium.  The kids loved touching the sharks, horseshoe crabs, and stingrays.

 More rides and treats!

One morning, Brian and I got up early enough to watch the sunrise.  It was breathtaking!

 

We are so thankful for a wonderful week of vacation together.  We had great weather and enjoyed making lots of memories!

Happy Birthday Brian!

Yesterday, we celebrated Brian's 39th birthday.

 

 My mom cooked dinner for us, and we had a little birthday celebration at her house.

 When we got home, we gave him a gift.

 Do you think he liked it?

 It was only a couple of dvds that he wanted, but he was so excited!

Happy Birthday Brian!!!
