Charleston

While our children were busy picking apples and being news anchors and what not-Mark and I went to Charleston for a wedding and a fun day away.

 I was kind of obsessed with Charleston. Our hotel was beautiful like the rest of the city.

 The food was also beautiful. If you don't like fried green tomatoes you are dead to me. :)

 We were the quintessential tourists and went on a carriage ride.

 On a plantation. Overlooking the water. Amazing.

 I'm in love with Charleston! We will be back!

Thankful

For Thanksgiving this year we headed to Mark's parents house.

But first we stopped at my friend Ali's house. She and I just chatted. And maybe ate a few pieces of candy. Or her son's entire Halloween stash. But anyway....

 We got to beautiful Richmond and immediately got out of that car!

 Oma had all sorts of fun in place...a special table for the girls and tea sets.

 Hutch found a device to help him chew and stand. Perfect.

 I'm not really sure about this.

 Oma has a membership to the children's museum and took the girls all day every day. Mark and I snuck out of town for a quick trip and I don't think they even knew we left they were so busy!

 :)

 Poor Baby Hutch!

Thankful for lots of special memories for our kids and wonderful grandparents who are willing to keep the whole troop!!

 Fun seeing out of town friends

 My oldest looking old

 She is so sweet...

 One night we went and snuck Grandma out of the care facility and she was so excited!!!

 We took her to a Bach concert and I think she enjoyed her big night out! :)

Restaurant entertainment.

Gyms and Fryns (that's pretty bad)

Kaiya has been going to Gymnastics preschool (translated=three extra hours of activity and I don't have to take her to gymnastics!) this fall and loves it. They had a family day in the fall and we all joined in.

 Too bad I didn't get any pictures of the actual gymastics student. Oh well. :)

 We had a fun weekend with friend continuing our annual trip to Heidi's Farm Stand. (no relation) :)

 This just cracked me up that we both looked the same amount of drugged. :)

 Poor Hutch.

 Always something with her. ALWAYS.

 Group storytime. He's better than a library lady. :)
