Pawleys Island!

We got back to Pawleys Island!

We went to Jania's birthday party on July 26th so we got there late evening that Saturday night.

From then until Tuesday evening, it was just the four of us!  Mom and dad came that night, then on Friday, Linda and Gary came with Sydney and Charlotte.  The kids stayed that weekend so they could spend the next week with them. 

They bought them some beach towels- Tarheels for Hallie and Braves for Justin!

We made it back to the ice cream place (twice) and to Pawley's Raw bar.

High tide was in the morning at the beginning, so the kids loved the rough waves!






Tuesday morning, we went to putt putt at Jurassic Golf, where all of us got a hole in one at least one time!  It had a fake dinosaur that moved.

Then we went to the Riley's Aquarium (which was good but I thought would be bigger and we had to drive home in a bad thunderstorm afterwards).

Rec and All Stars baseball

Justin played on the Cubs this spring.

He did get at least double to left field once! He walked other times and did good base running.








All-stars...we almost beat the team at our 2nd game but lost by one. It was 11:30pm due to rain delays when it ended.





VBS at Fairview

 Hallie did VBS at Fairview, spending the week at Karen's with Miranda.

She was with Charlotte's group and said she was crazy!

July 4th at Linville

Our annual time in Linville with the Helms and Starnes!

Decorating the golf carts!







Isaiah drove the boys and Deda the girls, but next year, Hallie will!










We seem to have good luck at the cake walk.
These two won, as well as mom and I right before this!
Others did as well, so we had plenty of desserts!


Justin enjoys the game room the most and playing this retro NFL game.



The boys playing beach ball baseball in the back driveway!



Dancing before the fireworks




















This was on July 3rd, where they threw drinks in the pool, then had the kids jump in to get them.
They also did this for the adults but used adult beverages for them








We get more pics of the girls than the boys!












S'mores cookout at the lake the last night!









There was a dance that the girls first crashed (with Deda).
It was about to end, but the girls did the Cupid Shuffle and ChaCha Slide.
