Folly Beach

Grandpa Ba, MomMom, Jack, JoJo, & Emmy hanging at the beach the first day.


Jack digging at 9:00 pm on our walk.

Mr. Cool and his bubbles!


Liz, JoJo, CiCi,G, Jack, Mommy, MomMom, Ba, and Daddy had a great time celebrating birthdays.

Jack loved to help blend our yummy drinks!



When we first arrived at the beach the house we rented for the week was awful! It advertised two full bathrooms. By that, they meant one yucky full bathroom/ laundry room upstairs and one bathroom downstairs next to where you park the cars. It looked like it was the public bathroom for all of Charleston. It was so gross!!! The shower was completely corroded and I won't even go into what the toilet looked like. Agghhh!!! After unpacking two cars, Dad went back to the rental place and told them ever so nicely that the house was not acceptable. After an hour or so he was satisfied when they gave us a nice new, much larger house, with 3 1/2 bathrooms ... for a discounted rate. What a relief! We didn't even mind loading and unloading the car again. The new house is wonderful!!!
Jackson loves the beach! He likes his "house" (tent) and loves to dig in the sand. He even likes to stop and dig at 9:00 pm on our evening walk. He is warming up to the waves, but isn't crazy about the water yet. That is fine by me since we saw a baby shark on the beach right in front of our house the first morning we were here. It was still alive and a lady threw it back in the water. I am sure his huge parents were happy to have their baby back. I am terrified of sharks!!! Jack loves surf boards and is in luck with a surf camp in front of our house in the mornings. Cousin CeCe got him a little surfboard and he stands on it and falls to the ground. Hours of entertainment!!! He loves watching Daddy and Ba ride the waves on their rafts.

Wow! You guys are brave driving to SC with Jackson! We just got back a few weeks ago & even though we usually drive (Chris likes to do a marathon drive in a day!), I couldn't imagine driving with Lily! SC is so beautiful & I know Chris would LOVE to move back, but there's no way my mom would allow it! Will you be back next week for a play date? Have fun in Charleston!
P.S. If you get a chance, go eat at Hyman's. They have the BEST seafood!
