Hike to the waterfalls

We decided to take advantage of the long weekend and head to Table Rock State Park in South Carolina to hike to see some waterfalls.  We ended the trip with a visit to the playground as well.

Happy 2nd Birthday Sophie!!!

What better way to wake up for your birthday that to have your cousins here to share in the celebration with you?  Our dear little girl turned 2 today.  She is so sweet, yet sassy, fiercely independent, stubborn, set in her ways and the best daughter we could have ever asked for.  To top off the celebration, we met for lunch with Pau-Pau and Gong-Gong.  It is always great to share time with family, especially since the cousins will be far away soon for a little while.
Happy Birthday Sophie!  Mama and Baba love you!!
 













Brithday Fun with the Cousins- Part II (Animal House)

We decided not to have a formal party for Sophie for her birthday this year, but did decide to go the Lazy 5 Ranch about an hour away that everyone seems to love.  You can either ride in a wagon or in your own car and feed the animals..... Deer, Llamas, goats, zebras, water ox, antelopes and giraffes.  Every had a great, if not slobbery, time.  Definitely worth the effort and time to go. Some of our friends joined us as well, so it made for an extra good time as well as with the cousins.  After a full morning, we played in the yard the rest of the afternoon.  The kids found new and adventurous ways to have fun with the toys that we have. (Apologies to Sharon in case you feel some of the activities were not in your realm of comfort...I will say I was around the whole time to supervise.)
