going for a walk to get ice cream
my sunburned kids
the "family"
PaPa I'm ready for ice cream
my handsome sonWe went to Wild Dunes with Jonathan and Darla for the weekend. Reggie and I were engaged under a palm tree beside the ocean there. We went there every summer together until we had Jake. Needless to say we have wonderful memories there.
Jon Jon and Dar Dar (Abby's name for them) rented a home on the boardwalk beside the huge hotel. It was very nice but trying the keep my kids quiet was more difficult than I had hoped. We were there with Darla's family. Jonathan and Darla don't have children. Darla's brother isn't married and has no kids so Darla's mom and dad have no grandchildren. So all weekend I was worried about my kids bothering others. We just don't like the same things. Darla is really into fashion and shopping and eating out, while Reg and I prefer to spend our time exploring nature. I spent most of the time in my bedroom watching Spongebob (which I must admit that is one show I cannot stand) with Jake and Abby. There was an ice cream parlor at the end of the boardwalk which was about 6 houses down. Abby would get PaPa's hand and they would go for a walk and come back with an ice cream. He must have spend at least $30 for ice cream for Jake and Abby. But boy was it good! We did go on the beach and went into Charleston and had a blast at the waterpark.

I cannot believe you two have been married for 17 years! Where did the time go? It seems like only a year or two ago, it does to me any way.
Coming up on 20 years! I can't remember not being married. I want to renew our vows at 20 years on a beach in the Carribean. We brought Abby home from the hospital on our 15 anniversary. So she will be 5 then. Maybe we can finally get away by ourselves by then.
