Time to head home

Saturday morning, Shyloe had a fun activity for the kids. They each put their handprints on a ornament. We then headed out to the beach for one last visit before we had to drive to the airport. Avery and Ryan had such fun with their cousins and will miss them. They have seen each other three times since June!

Friday Fun

Friday, we went to the Town Center for the fall festival. They had a train ride, bounce house, kid's band, and santa. They had fun on the train and refused to sit on santa's lap. We rode on our bikes out to the Ocean Course in the afternoon and the kids enjoyed the putting green.

Thanksgiving

The weather was a little cooler Thursday, but still sunny and a great day to be outside. We biked on the beach and played at the park. After lunch, Andy and I explored the island while the kids napped in the backseat. The houses are truly amazing and fun to just drive around and check them out. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner - everything was delicious. So thankful to be able to spend another Thanksgiving at Kiawah with my side of the family and Andy's parents.

Charleston

On Wednesday, we headed into Charleston with Andy's parents to celebrate Andy's dad's 70th birthday (his birthday was Oct 25). We checked out the holiday train set at the hotel, had a yummy lunch at Leaf, and visited the horses (one of Ryan's favorite activities) at one of the barns for the Carriage tours.

Beach

On Tuesday, we had another day of perfect weather! Avery and Ryan had a blast building sand castles, playing golf, and kicking the soccer ball on the beach with their cousins. Andy's parent arrived Tuesday evening. So glad they were able to make the trip down again this year.
