despite having the kids home everyday, all day, i have found a few moments here and there to sew just a little bit. our quilt guild had a doll quilt swap (although i prefer mini quilt, since doll quilt makes us sound like weird old women who play with dolls), and i managed to finish […]
more (lots more) beach…
the rest of our trip was quite sunny. and we went to the beach a lot. a lot lot. i’m not even going to bother to caption these pics.
carnival on the beach.
even though the sun came out, it was still a bit chilly and the beach was a bit soggy. plus, ike had been begging us to go ride the rides at this little mini carnival that runs from memorial day to labor day where main street hits the beach. this ferris wheel seemed to be […]
alligator mania. and other rainy day activities.
on one of the rainy days, we drove to myrtle beach (we were technically in north myrtle), and tried to go to a children’s museum, since we have the reciprocal (free) membership. apparently a lot of other folks had this idea too and there was a 30 minute wait because they were at capacity. and […]

tanglewood play day.
on saturday, we decided to get out and do something outdoors. as a family. wanting to avoid any memorial day crowds, or spend a lot of (any) money, we decided to stay rather low key. so, we headed over to tanglewood park. first, we went to the bigger playground, since we had just been to […]
