Trip to South Carolina

We had a super fun filled trip to South Carolina.  We flew out on Tuesday, June 28 early in the morning and had an interesting trip out there.  After a series of somewhat unfortunate events ( a delayed departure in Salt Lake that basically erased our layover, thunderstorms keeping bags on planes in Atlanta, filing a claim for the lost stroller, the Marta not taking cards, rough traffic on the way home,etc) we arrived in Greenville without our stroller and several hours after we had anticipated.  But there was no throwing up on the plane!
We had a jam packed trip and were very happy to get to see almost all of our Leckie cousins.

While we were there...
We went to Table Rock and swam in the Lake... oh how I love warm clear lakes!

We went to the Greenville Zoo...

Ben loved the monkeys!

Caroline.... not so much.  They were a little loud. 

We went to Furman...

We played in the water...

We played on the zip line...

We rode barbie bikes,,,

 We had fun swinging...

 We played with cousins...

We went to the beach where we got to play in the sand, the pool, the ocean, sit on our pretty balcony, play with more cousins, enjoy "romantic walks on the beach", watch fireworks for the 4th of July, find sharks teeth, and have a wonderful time...
