Miranda visit!

 She spent the night with us in early August!

Week at Karen's and Pawleys Island

 The kids (and Miranda) spent a week at Karen's for Fairview's VBS. Hallie helped her with Charlotte's group and Justin was in the same group as Miranda. No pics, but Tuesday, they went to Stone Mountain. Thursday, they went to the movies, the girls seeing "Moana" and Justin and Karen seeing "Minons and Monsters" 

The last week of July we went to Pawley's Island again with mom and dad.  The kids enjoying the hide tide crazy waves as usual. We went to Pawley's Raw Bar as well as our usual ice cream place.

                                                

We did putt putt in Garden City one morning, the boys playing 3 times for the all day play.  Hallie and I stayed in the ice cream place since it was pretty hot.

The boys played at True Blue, Justin's first 18 holes!

All-star baseball!

Justin was reluctant to do all stars since they hadn't won a game in the last 4 years that he played.

But for whatever reason, he did!

It was a challenging experience with 2+ hour practices four nights a week.

They won the first 2 games back to back!

They did well in the other games, especially with their attitudes.

Justin at least hit the ball instead of standing there...

 

July 4th in Linville

We were able to stay in house this year within walking distance to Deda's house and the one Chris & Lesley rented.

They had these "lily pads" in the lake where 8 people could sit one. The girls did that more this year than anything!

There were nunerous noddle fights but I got this one!

Isaiah was the reigning champ. 

There was a family Olympics- here is the 3 legged race

Egg toss!

Justin go to fish a few times, catching 5 total including this big one.

A small one near the dam.

Boys throwing the football in the pool!

Dinner at the Pointe!

Cousins plus Hanna Barwick!

Justin (12), Nolan (13), Isaiah (16), Arlo (15), Myles (16), Hallie (15), Ellie (11), Hanna (14), Leah, (13) Ella (10)

Kids played woofle ball and kickball

They showed the movie "Jaws" on the beach one night-took this before it got dark.

Leah, Ellie, Hallie, and Hanna

Golf cart parade! Isaiah and Hallie drove this year!

 Justin and Isaiah went golfing by themselves that afternoon, doing 9 holes.

They loved it!

Justin was very tired the night on the 4th so we didn't go to the Landing to watch the fireworks, which was fine since we both don't like loud noises. But we ended up being able to see them from the back deck.
