Jackie and Tom go kayaking!

 
 
 
 

Will wonders never cease? Jackie has wanted to go kayaking for some time now, and Tom has not been too receptive to anything smaller than an aircraft carrier....well, after a stroke of luck and running into someone who happens to own both canoes and kayaks, we decided to take the great adventure on the Cooper River. I loved it and Tom was a little less than enthusiastic....the getting in and out of the kayak was a little challenging. BUT, we did not flip them over, which was a major concern. The river was just gorgeous and we navigated some creeks so that we could stay away from the "big boats" and crazy people. The wildlife was abundant and it was incredibly peaceful. The water was like glass, and it was a perfect day except for the heat. I would love to do it again, not so sure about Tom!

Fun in the sun with the sons and the kids!

 
 
 
 

What a great Labor Day Weekend. We took a 12-hour jaunt to Ocean City, MD, to see the kids (Jeff, Monica and Jason) and the grands (Andrew and Abby). What fun. The weather was spectacular and the beach was great. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach, with some time at the playground and a boat ride thrown in for good measure. It is always a joy to be around the kids, although it makes me realize why we have them when we are young. God knew what he was doing with that one! Abby and Andrew go non-stop from morning until night, just being kids. Ocean City is a fun place to raise kids, with lots to do in the summertime. I am so glad that we oldies get to be a part of it!
