Kiawah

Every year we fly to South Carolina to spend a week on the beach with Chris's family- all 18 of us in one house (10 adults, 8 kids under 9...) It's always a fun week, and a great way to connect with our spread out family. I thought I'd share some highlights.

 The 12 scoop Vacation Sundae from Vincents

Let me just add here that the sundaes at Vincents are some of the best things I've ever eaten. My favorite:  Coconut Madness:  2 Scoops of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Topped with Hot Fudge, Slivered Almonds, Toasted Coconut, Whipped Cream and a Cherry. I have to limit myself to one per vacation. (But I think I could make a good mock up at home....)

I think the most astounding thing about this pictures is that all of the children are actually in it!

Fun with the cousins

I think this was the easiest trip we've had in a while. The kids are all getting old enough that some of the drama is subsiding. Can you see how intently Cooper is following his cousin's lead??

Bumped! (relaxing while we wait for the next day's flight.)

Here's a little secret that some of you might not know: we've managed to get ourselves bumped every trip home from Charleston since we started going. So, yes, this year we got bumped, and acquired a good chunk of travel vouchers to put toward next year's trip. We had to stay an extra day in Charleston (and you can tell the boys are really suffering through that...), but it was worth it.

Nothing I can really say about this last picture....
