Leebo is 30!

Thursday morning we ventured out for our first trip as a family of four. We spent the weekend with Elise and Chad and had a very busy weekend down in Charleston. Thursday night Chad had a softball game, where there was the coolest playground ever: Friday morning we went to the SC Aquarium. It wasn't as fun as it could have been, because there were a ton of middle school field trips going on, so it was a little unruly in places. But SURPRISE! We ran into Leebo there. Um, yeah, we thought he taught school. Nope, he works at the aquarium! We played dumb about his birthday party, because it was supposed to be a surprise that we were coming, he wasn't expecting out of town guests!
Elise and Chad have a chair that Amelia liked to snuggle in. It made for a good picture backdrop, too!
At least on the Mayse side, it always seems like the uncles are the cool ones, and the aunts are along for the ride. But there were times this weekend when Seth thought Elise was the best. Especially when she let him play in the sprinkler in her backyard.
Leebo and Nathan go WAAAAAAY back. They grew up in Kings Mountain together, were freshman year roommates and then fraternity brothers. Lee's wife threw him this party, and they have a one month old baby! (good woman!) It was fun to see them again, and Tim and Tiff (of Baird...Cubed fame) were there too, Tiffany is the cutest preggo ever! Another surprise bonus of the weekend is that Elise and I ran into Mary Margaret, Wes, and Charlotte (of And Baby Makes Three fame) at the outlet mall. I saw all my Charleston buddies in one day!
Sunday morning we drove down to Folly Beach and spent the morning with Tim and Tiff. Seth was ready to go to the beach, and had a blast digging in the sand and putting his feet in the ocean.Our water baby...she fussed at the shock of the water temperature, then quickly settled down. (just look back to Seth's one month picture to get an idea of how he felt about late-July ocean the first time we took him)
First family picture since Amelia was three days old!
We came home to rain, and lots of it, but that's okay. We need it, the yard looks great, the kids need to regroup, and I have a lot of laundry to do!
