Forth of July Vacation!

For the 4th this year, our fam went to charleston, SC. We had sooo much fun. The girls were really good and loved the beach so that made it even more fun! Here's some pics of the highlights, (more pics on flickr, if you are craving more)

Please take a moment to look at this picture, as you can only imagine how difficult it was to get us all in a picture with decent looks on our faces. (tom had to set the camera up, making this picture extra memorable)


kiki does not get left out of anything Halle is doing, she has to be involved in everything.


getting pictures of kiera is a lot easier then getting pictures of Halle, shes such a ham.
These pictures are all from the children' s museum, it was the coolest children's museum i've ever been to! it made it harder to come back home where the funnest thing to do in our city is go to the mcdonalds playland.
this area of the museum like a huge castle, secret passage ways, kitchen dress up area, beds, it was so cool, it was all kid sized so me and tom both took a turn whacking our heads on the low ceilings.
me and kiks, yup, we're adorable!



wiped out after a day on the beach! we turned kiks car seat around early so she could enjoy the dvd player and looking out the window, it made for a much easier trip.

Isn't this museum cool? this was a huge boat that the kids could play on, it even had a bed and kitchen inside. ok, so i was more excited about this museum then the kids, i still can't get over it!
kiks walking around in this wizard out fit was halarious!

Once again, me humilating/torturing my kids for a good laugh and a good picture.
look at this castle! y'all probably have nice children's museums where you live, our children' s museum here is basically a playroom, as big as my living room, so this was amazing to me.


there was a sign that said, "6 items at a time". a little girl came and told me halle was getting too many items, I said, "well, she can't count, so she can get as many as she wants"
this store looked so real, it was halle's favorite part of the day!
it was pretty realistic, even the freezer aisle was blowing cold air.

the humidity plus salt water made the sand impossible to get off our bodies, so i took a few pics of the girls as soon as we got to the beach and never was able to take the camera back out for fear of ruining it. but they loved the beach, sand and waves, kiks was as usual fearless crawling right into the waves, halle wouldn't go near it with out holding our hands. just to get kiera to be still , we had to dig her a big hole and fill with water like her own personal beach side bath tub.

yummm....sand





does a tiera go with this outfit?
