our week in review:

daddy's off this week for a staycation, and it's proven to be a spectacular blend of fun, celebration, dragonflies, catching up around the house, and relaxation!  Independence Day Festivities were a blast!  We hung out at Sun City, taking the golf carts down to the fireworks launch location, where we enjoyed food, music, family, fun, and a spectacular show! check out the fireworks launch that looks like a sunflower!


 




The next day, we hit the high seas!  We had SO much fun...we launched from our small coastal town's fabulous new boat landing, and accidentally found and enjoyed this amazing sandbar, lovingly titled, "the Redneck Riviera," by the locals, and finally hit the boat again and headed to Daufuski Island for a great, casual, coastal life dinner!
 
Last night we enjoyed our weekly Pool and Picnic night, with Grandma and Grandpa...this time, daddy finally joined us, for the first time!


and what would a Lowcountry life week be like, without ice cream outings and pastry picnics...and storms, lots and lots of storms!
  


and of course, nature adventures:



grateful for another beautiful week in our neck of paradise!

Sunday Fun....

Wonderful bike ride today through our local national wildlife preserve topped off with a cozy camp fire....and the icing on the cake....as I was driving onto the bridge, a dolphin jumped into the air, parallel to me....so amazing!'n

Today's nature ride....you know you're in for a great day when you cross the bridge to go onto the island, and a dolphin jumps up into the air parallel to you!!!!
