SC Vacation Pictures

We were in South Carolina for vacation which explains the lack of posts in August. We had a blast and Benjamin enjoyed himself and learned a lot about nature in the process. Among the activities we did in addition to playing at the beach was a round of putt putt golf, a trip to Charleston SC, an adventure to Brookgreen Gardens and a lot of playtime both at the beach and in Mom's golf course back yard.

We had a nice visit from Uncle David and Mom's friends Ed and June. We read, did jigsaw puzzles and played games too. We ate well all week and went on a shopping trip at an outlet in Myrtle Beach and I even got to take in a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game (pics to follow in a later post). I'll let these pictures do the talking. As usual, please click for an enlargement. Enjoy!

Birds would nest here. The barrier below keeps snakes
and other animals from eating the eggs and birds.
