Family Comes to Town!

It's always nice to have family come and visit! Brian's parents, Grandma, and Aunt Tempie all came to see us in our new house the first weekend of August, and we all had a great time! We were so glad that they got to see where we live, and we were able to show Grandma and Tempie around town. On Saturday, we did the whole downtown Charleston thing, including a carriage ride. The rides attract many tourists because they are over an hour long and really do give you great history about downtown Charleston. I would highly recommend it especially if early American history interests you. Anyway, being that it is a guided tour, I was a little nervous about how Abby Grace and Caleb would do, but they were great! Abby Grace drifted off to sleep a few times, but what 3 year old wouldn't? After walking around the market, we headed back to the house while Carl, Grandma, and Tempie toured some homes downtown. For dinner, we ate at Fleet's Landing--yum! On Sunday, the family toured Magnolia Planation, and we went to dinner at Shem Creek, which is over in Mt. Pleasant. Then, we walked around Sullivan's Island just for fun. We had a great weekend and were so glad everyone was able to come and visit!

Caleb and Abby Grace are saying hey to the horse that gave us our Charleston tour.

The following are pictures from when we walked around Sullivan's Island. Notice how amazing Grandma is--she's 90 years old and can still play chase with a 3 year old!
