The Little Waites

I love taking pictures - capturing precious moments in time, but lately time has been the hindrance.  So, this morning I took the littles outside a grabbed a few pictures....

The Beach

This beach trip will probably go down in the history books of maybe just one of the most "eventful" trips to Daufuskie yet.  It all started before we even left for the beach.  Fred went to the doctor the day before we left for a sore throat and was placed on antibiotics.  Needless to say a sore throat is one of the most annoying ways to be sick.  Much snoring goes on and not much sleep on my part due to the snoring.  But anyway, when we arrived at our condo the AC was out.  We had a technician come by and look at it and said we needed the whole unit replaced at a whopping $9,000....gulp!  Fred was on his computer and the telephone for at least 3 days trying to find someone who would do it cheaper or who would even be able to come out while we were there.  Needless to say, being on an island does not come in handy sometimes.  No one would be able to come out while we were going to be there.  So, the decision was - sweat it out or leave.  We chose to sweat it out.  Truly it wasn't that bad unless you tried to dry your hair or make yourself look 1/2 way decent. 
On top of the sore throat (that wasn't going away), Fred put is back out.  I mean like walking completely crooked and in a lot of pain.  Really - on a island, a husband with a sore throat and his back out and no AC!!!!  Come on, really.  We hung in there for 6 days and then we caved.  2 more days of rain in the forecast and we were going home! 
All in all we had a good time.  The kids never complained about the heat and had a great time on the beach each day.  And who wouldn't rather be at the beach anyway.....

At last but not least, this picture is priceless.  It was the first time he had seen the ocean.....love that face!

 

Next trip on the agenda - Honduras bound on a mission trip with my hubby!!!  I can't wait......

Horse Camp

It was a little rough start of the week at camp for Morgan.  Being away from home at night time is still a little hard.  With a little persuasion and a little tough love,on my part and some courage/bravery on her part, she made it through.  I am so proud of her.  All in all she had a blast!!!!  Here are some pictures of her week....

                      These pictures make my heart happy!!!

Summer Camp

Gotta love summer and everything it brings.....like camp!  The little ones went to camp last week at the preschool they will be attending in the fall.  All of them were super duper excited about going!!  Their theme was the Rainforest.  They all had such a great time and are very excited for school in the fall (and so is this momma). 
Mason had adventure camp.  All I can say is I wish they had this for adults.  It sounded like so much fun.  They did rock wall climbing, white water rafting, canoeing, playing in the lake, hiking and so on.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from his week!

 

Morgan is at horse camp this week.  She was so excited to go this year.  Being able to ride everyday is a dream to this girl.  I am so glad that she has found something that she is so passionate about.  I miss her and will be ready for her to come home on Saturday. 

Then next week we are off to our beach home on Daufuskie Island.  I can't wait......
