The Summer!

I know I've been slack AGAIN...

We had a super summer, but it went by too quickly! 

We started off the summer by enjoying a long weekend at Bald Head Island with my Aunt Merry and Uncle Keith.  To get to BHI, you have to take a ferry boat.  There are no cars on the island, only golf carts.  Alli thought that was cool.  She was happy to be back with the sand and ocean.  Lauren on the other hand, is not a beach bunny.  She did not like the sand touching her, she wouldn't walk on the sand, and she did not like the idea of being near the water.  Anytime we went to the beach, I had to hold Lauren...not fun when it's 95 degrees outside.

After our return from BHI, Alli did vacation bible school at our church in the mornings and basketball camp in the afternoons.  She had a great time at VBS...she wasn't such a fan of basketball camp.  Whether she realizes it or not, she can dribble now and has much better ball control, but I don't think she'll do the basketball camp next year. 
She also went to Camp Clemson.  Most of her friends from pre-school also went there, so she was glad to see and spend time with her "old buddies." 
Another fun time for Alli was art camp at Glazed.  The theme during the week she went was Christmas in July.  They made the old fashioned ceramic Christmas trees that that have the little lights.  She also made pottery ornaments, and painted a snowman on canvas.

For our family vacation, we went for a week at Hilton Head.  We had a super time.  The Richardson's met us down there mid-week, and that made the week even better!

Too bad summer had to end!
