Vacation-Day I

Well, we made it!! We are in Isle of Palms, S.C. No hurricanes or tropical storms here. In fact, the weather is beautiful. Very hot and humid, but beautiful! The trip down was great, except for the two times Eli got sick in the car. The poor kid gets car sick so easily. Jenny did so well and I am so thankful!! She slept most of the way and enjoyed our long lunch break at a rest area!! Here are a few pictures from the last two days.

We couldn't fit anything else in the van if we wanted to!!

After we got to our condo and unloaded we headed down the street for some dinner. We stay on a little strip with many condo buildings, hotel, houses, shops and restaurants all within walking distance. Here is Eli holding up a palm tree branch that had fallen down and the cute little girl!

Smiling cute little girl!

Today, John and Eli headed down to the beach before Jenny and I because she was still sleeping. Here is my attempt at taking pictures of us all loaded up and walking down to join them. I had her in the Snugli and the hat wasn't really cooperating!!

I posted both of these because she looks so cute in both of them. Isn't she just adorable in her little swimsuit!!

Look how well she is focusing on her toy!!

Well, we are having a great time, so far!! We are here with two other families that are our good friends!! Eli is having a blast playing with the Bohannon kids. Please pray for Caden. Chandra (his mom) came up earlier asking for some Children's Motrin because he has a fever and is feeling icky. I pray he gets better with a good night's sleep!! Hopefully, we'll meet up with the Campbell's soon!!

And, for all of you who watched the video of Eli having a moment!! Please don't think ill of him. He is a little sinner, after all, and is still in training on how to be obedient and joyful. In fact, I am still in training for the same things! He really is a joy!!! We are just hitting a very challenging season for a child and are feeling an increase in training and discipline!! But, we are so thankful to God for him and wouldn't trade a minute of it!
