Seabrook Island, SC 2009

We spent 10 days in Seabrook Island, SC- July 27-August 7. Benjamin, like Sophie, loves the water. He was so happy to be able to run on the beach freely, run in and out of the waves and chase birds. I would highly recommend this island for any family. The beaches are so wide, as are the dunes, there are beautiful trees with moss, lots of deer, dolphins, shells, horses, bike riding, etc. It is a great place for everyone in the family.

Theatre Camp - Stardust

Sophie went to a theatre camp called Camp Stardust in Little Five Points this week. They learned all about theatre and put on the play of 101 Dalmatians. In this first video, Sophie is one of the Dalmatians.

In this act, Sophie was a French poodle- love those ears!

Sophie biking

Sophie has now mastered her two wheel biking.

Benjamin loves pushing his car down the hill and chasing it. There is a great empty parking lot near our house.

Sophie Playing with Benjamin

This video was taken one weekend morning in May. It was great of Sophie hoola-hooping and Benjamin playing with his car.

Here is Sophie swimming in Truckee, CA. She had a week of swim lessons before we left for CA. She is perfecting her breast stroke and breathing with the crawl.

Mary Lin takes a Road Trip

The gym teacher put on an amazing performance with each grade participating. It was called Mary Lin takes a Road Trip. Each grade "visited" a different place. Those that were selected from the kindergarten class "visited' Orlando, FL so they were all dressed as Disney characters. Sophie got to wear her Minnie Mouse costume again. We are going to try to get the video uploaded because the performance is so cute but the file is too big. Here are pictures for now.

Then there was a parade following.
