Our vacation part 1 - Visiting the Murphy's

We started our summer vacation by traveling to South Carolina to visit our dear friends, the Murphy's. They have the MOST beautiful home out in Okatie, SC in the most wonderful neighborhood. Only problem, it isn't next-door to us anymore. :( They were kind enough to let us stay with them and "take over" their home! When the Dossett's come to visit, it is like a storm blows in! Thank you Chris, Christy, Ian, Lia, and little Ali. We had a wonderful time visiting with you all. I loved how the kids picked up like they had never been apart. We miss you all so very much!

Their neighborhood has a wonderful pool with a great slide that the kids couldn't get enough of. Lia was a big help with Ava in the pool.
The girls ran up the steps and came down the slide, over and over.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER! :)

At first we made Ava ride down the slide with Drake. But, she didn't want any help. She wanted to do it on her own. "Me do it!"
Weeeeee!
The girls.
At Harbour Town in Hilton Head, there is a man named Gregg Russell who performs for the kids. He has done this for the past 30 years. It was neat to see all the adults who used to come to HHI and watch his show and who now bring their own children to see him. My kids LOVED his show. Ava and Ali didn't sit much during the show. They did a lot of dancing and moving :)

In Harbour Town this was a great playground. The kids loved playing their and getting dirty.

Best Buds....what sweet boys.

Lia is SO photogenic!





I love these girls

Silly girls.


Drake had fun at the park too.



Ali and Ava loved listening to music on their little mp3 players. It was so funny to watch them.
