Charleston- Day 3

To start our morning we drove up to Summerville to pick up the race packets for Saturday.  Next, we headed over to the outlets to get Mercy some tennis shoes from Carters.  We then went to the Fireman's Museum, which is right next to the outlets.  We have been before, but the boys were smaller.  I don't think they remembered going...I know Aedan didn't.  After the museum, we went to Caroline's house.  The kids enjoyed played with Daisy!  Next, we headed out to Folly Beach and met Unlce Tom, Aunt Sandy, and Aunt Sandra at the Crab Shack.  Our day wasn't over after lunch, so we headed to the Aquarium!  Talk about a busy, action-packed day!  For dinner, we enjoyed some Andolini's pizza!  Here are the pictures from the day...starting with the Fireman Museum pictures!

Chaleston- Day 2

Our day started out by going over to Chuck E Cheese.  The kids LOVE playing all of the video games!  It is a real treat since we don't have one here in Cookeville.  We don't go for the food, but for the play!  hahaha

After Chuck E Cheese, we headed over to the Ice Palace in Charleston.  Of course, the kids have never ice skated before (or even roller skated), so why not give it a shot?!  They did a wonderful job!  I was proud of their determination not to give up through the falls.  I think it was a little frustrating at first, but they soon got the hang of it.  Overall, the boys really liked it and definitely want to give it a try again sometime.  I'm sure if they skated regularly, they would loose the ice walkers pretty quickly.  Mercy on the other hand wasn't too keen on ice skating.  She went around twice holding onto my hand and also to the walker.  She whimpered a little but made it around.  I think the slipperiness of it scared her some.

oops!

Mercy sat with me while we watched the boys.  I couldn't resist taking a picture of her little skate.

 



 

 

 

After skating, we headed back to my dad's for lunch and then headed out to Folly Beach.  (Yes, this is all still the same day in case you are wondering! hahaha)  We fed the birds, played football with the birds, and the kids got in the freezing water!

Catch it, sea gull!
