Spartanburg and Beach Trip

The kids and I just returned from a trip to Spartanburg and then to Myrtle Beach with my family. We had a great time. It was nice to have a few days in Spartanburg before heading to the beach. We got to visit with Greatmama multiple times (I forgot to take pics). Also, Jane took the kids and I to Chuck E. Cheese (fogot to take pics there as well). It was a treat visiting family. I love that Gami's house feels private enough to run around the yard in your underwear (well at least for those 5 and under)

The kids with Mr. Turtle. I found him on my walk one morning and brought him home to show the kids.

What a wonderful treat is was to see Minnesota friends! Maddux and Sophie were visiting family nearby. We had to have a play date. The girls pretty much picked up where they left off. It was a really sweet visit.

After Spartanburg, we headed to the beach for a week. The first half of the week was spent with my sister and aunts. At midweek my aunts left and Gami and Papa Phil came. All in all it was a great week. The weather was really good. I got to see Kaye and her boys. The place we stayed was nice (although unfortunately for this pregnant body, it was up 4 flights of stairs). The only low point was when my car broke down. But, with the help of some family friends, we quickly got it to a shop and fixed. Enjoy the beach pics. Thank you Aunt Laura for bringing your nice camera.

I will leave you all with a couple "Callie originals." She enjoyed bringing her camera to the beach and taking her own pictures.
