Summer adventures with cousin Caroline! Wow! These 3 girls have grown very tight, Easter was the bonding experience for these girls! When you have 3 girls, a bug gun and lots of bees to catch I guess that forms a lasting bond? Anyway, they were so cute together. They had a picnic in the apple orchard with GiGi. Made scarecrows out of a gourds in hopes of keeping the birds away from the blueberries! And just had fun! When I arrived we coordinated and took the girls and boys to see Cars- that was fun! After the movies Caroline came back to the farm with us! She and the girls played animal hospital, ate supper and fun catching lightening bugs! That was such an awesome night! The whole family sat out under the maple tree watching the girls have fun running through the orchard with Uncle Jason! Kind of reminded me of being at Mamaw and Papaw's when I was a kid during the summer!
After our trip to the farm we came home for a few weeks! Ava had cheer camp- FUN! She was also in our local beaches newspaper for cheer camp! Neat! After cheer camp we packed up and got ready for our beach adventure! We went to Myrtle Beach at the end of July for a week. The girls cousins were there as well from NYC. They had the best time! Our hotel had several pools, lazy rivers and hottubs! The kids were set! We spent our time going between hotels. We went to the Ripley's Aquarium one afternoon! The girls LOVED the mermaid show! I have to say it was pretty cool! After we ate supper and then went to Build A Bear! It was our first time! The girls each got bunnies! It was fun but over whelming! After we headed to see the cousins. Ava and Sarah-Tate had decided they wanted to spend the night with them! All 4 girls had a ball! Our week passed quickly and soon it was time to come back to Jax Beach!
When we arrived back our friends from DC were in route! Yay! We had a great weekend with them! So much fun! Always fun seeing them and spending time with the kids! Ava and Sarah-Tate love Aris, Kira and Landon! It was so cool b/c this time ST created a pretty tight bond with Mr Eric! We headed to Animal Kingdom with them on Monday before Mr Eric left on Tues. We had so much fun! It was a long exhausting day for the girls and I but totally worth it! We also had 2 sleepovers, so cute!
After all of that it was almost time for Ava to start 1st grade and Sarah-Tate to go back to St Paul's for her last year of preschool before VPK!
Fun summer!
