Doing the tourist thing

Sam's cousin Alysa and her family (hubby Scott, son Chase and daughter Avie) came to visit this Memorial weekend. We had a lot of fun showing them our favorite places in Charleston.

The Beach on the Isle of Palms

Jimmy had so much fun playing with his cousin Chase, he asked if Chase could be his little brother. However, Susie had a somewhat different opinion of the little man who was interested in her toys and no matter how many times she went to sleep, he was still there when she awoke.

Alysa and Scott are moving to Kansas City this summer, so we will have a long distance between us again. We hope to meet up with them in Colorado over the holidays soon.

Open Wide!

Susie had the pleasure of her first dentist visit this week. She did really well, and I think I owe that to the pediatric dentist. He has a little weiner dog that he brings to the office, and she had fun watching the doggie run around while Jimmy had his teeth cleaned, and then she got her turn. Susie is a textbook little sister, in fact I'm shocked she doesn't say "me too" yet.

Through Jimmy's Eyes

Jimmy got a Kid Tough digital camera for his birthday, and here are some pictures he took with it.

Here is his buddy Dylan shooting the rocket from the Buzz Lightyear spaceship
