2024 So Far...

 Other than our snow tubing trip, I haven't shared much of the haps around here over the last couple of months.  

So let's see...

To start off the New Year, the Mr. Baby had some resolutions.  First up, Get to walkin'.  So I took him up to Kassis Brothers to get fitted for his first pair of boots!  He has taken off at full speed.    My other goal, merging to one good nap, has been more difficult but we are getting there.

A few things about this pic: First off, I have hardly any photos of me with all three so this is special.  Second, The S&S waiting room is probably the only place in Charleston that hasn't changed ONE BIT in the last 30 years.  And third, there is a reason we don't take the kids out to eat anymore and it's because of the aformentioned walking situation, J never stops moving!

J is a mountain man!  He loved exploring the Elk River, and trying to eat all of the pebbles.

--

J is also a beach boy!  He TOOK OFF into the ocean down at Folly a couple weeks ago.  

We all loved the warm winter beach day...

Date Night!  First off, these orange silk pants were a recent thrift SCORE.  

And second, our date night plans are *gasp* starting to shift.  Since we met we've enjoyed drinks downtown followed by dinner somewhere new, and often night caps (idealy in a cigar bar).  The past few times we've been out we haven't felt the same vibe in doing those things.  Both times we each agreed we would have enjoyed Hometeam or Mexican more than the downtown scene.  Oh Lawd, we're getting old!!!!!!  I just don't have any interest in being around all the tourists or the "who's who".  Though we do want to continue or annual Holiday night on the town, we'll be sticking to neighborhood favorites from now on.

Valentine's Day!  Balloons were a fun surprise for the girls.

Spent the morning at the school class parties.  So much fun.

Basil take out for Mom and Dad:

We wrapped up cheer season last Sunday with an awesome win.  The girls had a pep rally this morning and I can't wait to hear about it.  

--

That's what's been going on.  I've also been working on Summer plans.  I've got the girls in a cheer camp and a tennis camp and we'll be joining a nearby pool that's been highly recommended.  We've also finalized our travel plans and we are going....

Back to Tybee!

Snow Tubing at Hawks Nest

We recently spent a great long weekend up in the Banner Elk, NC area.  I wanted to share the highlight of our trip:  Snow Tubing at Hawks Nest. 

It was such a fun family activity!  There were probably 25 or so lanes of tubing, all different levels.  We spent our time on the beginner runs but would love to do the bigger ones once the kids are older.   Everyone had a great time, though little brother wasn't able to participate this year.  Ages 3+ 

They have a moving sidewalk type lift that takes you back up to the top, KEY with little ones.

I would highly recommend Hawks Nest for families with kids that might not be ready for skiing.  It's was a great little winter getaway.
