On Monday, I packed up the car with Cal and Jack and headed down to Dewees Island off the coast of Charleston, SC. Six hours, a ferry ride, lots of whining, and a bit of crying later, we reached our friends Chris and Curt (and Brown and Joseay).
What was I thinking? I am still not sure, but at one point (near the beginning) I thought, "Wow, this is really fun! I love having the boys in the car for this adventure!" Needless to say, that sentiment waned quite a bit after the goldfish, fruit snacks, and McDonald's french fries were old news.
Brown and Calvin were sweet together.....their common interests proved to be both good and bad. They both loved this fire truck we visited on the island.
But they also chased after many of the same toys... like this "hhh-yoccer" ball on the beach.
Though Cal and Brown scrambled to the ball, when it went into the water, they just kind of looked at each other not sure of what to do. Calvin ended up crying, standing ankle-deep in water after a larger wave rolled in. Brown's pants soaked up that wave after it knocked him down. Neither got the ball.
It was such a blessing to spend time with good friends, enjoy beautiful scenery,
play on the (chilly) beach,
and let some stress out =).
What fun! I take it Dan is glad he didn't go along for the destress part. :] Miss you!
