Vacation Bible School

This little boy looks just like Todd (Cooper's brother )when he was a kid.

Last week I volunteered at Vacation Bible School at Blessed Sacrament Catholic (where Coop went to Elementary School) and it was the BEST! I loved teaching and learning about God and seeing the kids sing and dance for God. I worked alongside a new friend named Kathleen who ran the program and I was honored to be by her side. She is truly a sister in Christ. There were more than 80 kids at camp and some of them were familiar faces from tennis (students from tiny tots). My ring bearer Osbaldo and his little sister were there too!

I am definitely on board for next year!

Farewell to Brooke!

Brooke (my neighbor and friend) has moved to Asheville, NC. Jeremy, Brooke, Cooper, and I have grown to be good buddies. We will miss them so much. We had them over for Crepes one morning, then Kelly and I threw a surprise going away party for Brooke ....she really was surprised and will be missed!

Brooke, Kelly, M.C. and I ...

Summer Camp- Tennis

Fredrik (our tennis pro) talked me into helping out at Summer camp again for a few days and I enjoyed every bit of it. I decided not to teach camp this summer, I missed my sweethearts, so it was nice to come back for a few days. We also got to celebrate Fredrik's birthday that week with cake.

Happy 4th of July weeks later!

The cousins came over to Cooper's parents house and had burgers and lots of great food and drinks! Here is Caleb practicing how to row.

Everyone loves watching Charlie (left).....

Fourth of July

The prisoner and wife.

We went on a Charleston County Prisoner's Truck into this area to find a path to the Ledenwah (sp??) river. Okay it's really Uncle Rick but as we were driving through the woods, we got a flat.

It was a fun adventure that day and then we all did a float down the river. Coop and I were on the sailboat with Sketcher, after capsizing the first time, I sat on Trisha's kayak the rest of the way. Sketch ended up on Cousin Robert's kayak. I didn't want the camera to get wet, so I have no pics from the float.

Wild Dunes Bike Ride

Wild Dunes is where the girls and I stayed during the wedding week. I had a beach photo shoot there a few weekends ago and Coop and I decided to bike after the shoot. The sky was beautiful and the ocean breeze felt great. We passed by the beach house and it brought back good memories of the end of March.

Conch eggs anyone? It looks like a necklace or snake but it's really a shell with eggs inside...I've never seen anything like it!

We got a new bike rack from REI thanks to some friends in Oregon (gift registry) and it has been so fun to ride all the time! Thanks Joanna and Mike! Cooper likes how easy it is to load up!

Cousins or Brothers .....Whatever

My brother dropped off Ziggy when he went to Texas, so Sketcher got to play with his Cousin...or brother....we are not sure....

Ziggy on the right is quite a bit larger than Sketch. He has curly hair too.
