It's been a while . . .


But I've been having so much fun!!


First, we vacationed with this family on the beautiful Isle of Palms.


We toured historic Charleston via a carriage ride and, of course, played in the Atlantic, ate wonderful seafood, and really enjoyed ourselves in the Wild Dunes Resort! Girls, do you remember any of Mimi's history lessons?


The only thing missing was the other part of the family!


But then we did travel to Mickey's playhouse in Orlando with this family to the 4th grade AAU National Basketball Tournament.


We visited Sea World and Discovery Cove as well as eat more delicious seafood.  There just wasn't time this year to visit Mickey and Minnie but we really enjoyed ourselves before watching . . .


this wonderful group of little girls place 6th in the nation out of a very big, strong group of competitors.


Mimi was so proud of you and your team, CJ, for always fighting hard and playing strong against those big girls!  We will sure miss this exciting town next year when the 5th grade Nationals are played somewhere else.  Orlando was a blast for the past 2 years!

Next year maybe we can get back on our true "family" vacation schedule but Mimi and Granddaddy really enjoyed ourselves with each family this year.  As always when there's little girls involved, there's lots of giggles, silly games and a just a little tad of mischief!!

Now it's almost time for Mimi's favorite thing of summer . . .

Cousins Camp!!

Got lots of planning to do in a short amount of time . . .
