Our Trip

I promise to post about our trip tomorrow. We had a great time! However, Tyler did have to go to the doctor yesterday evening. After talking a while with Kristi, I noticed Tyler had a rash on all over. It was beginning to get worse, and I mean a lot worse. Pretty soon he looked like a tomato all over. At least this was his interpretation of his skin. Luckily we were able to find a Dr.'s Care near Folly Beach and take him there. They prescribed him meds and the rash is looking much better. I took pictures and plan to post them tomorrow. Let's just say Tyler was not a happy camper. We didn't go to church this morning due to the possibility of exposing other children. However, we made the best of our weekend.
Two exciting things happened. Up until this weekend, Tyler was petrified of the ocean. He totally surprised all of us and played quite a bit in the water and sand. He even searched through the water for shells. I was so proud of him for overcoming one of his fears. Mallory is quite the opposite. She's not afraid of anything. Saturday were walking along the sidewalk at the battery. The gentleman beside us was fishing. Mallory was very interested in this and expressed a lot of interest in fishing the next time we go to Charleston. So, she started watching the man. Finally, he had something on the line. Mallory started running his way. She stopped dead in her tracks when we both realized he had caught a SHARK! Hello a SHARK! Granted it was a baby sand shark, but a shark is a shark. What does my child do? She proceeds to pet the shark. I had to take a picture. She said, "awwww he's so soft". I was just waiting on the "Can we keep him?" question to come. Thank God it didn't, but it was still really cool to see the shark and touch him.
We came back a little early today. I had a funeral to go to in Union. So, we headed home. I just love going to Tabernacle. My grandparents were members there and most of my family from Union either are or were members there during their lifetime. The church has beautiful stained-glass windows, but my favorite part are the acoustics. Anytime someone sings or the organ plays you get what I call the "angels" singing back to you. Anybody who was in band with me remembers the "band angels". Well these are the "Tabernacle angels". It's just simply beautiful. The burial was in the cemetery where both of my grandfathers, grandmother, and various other family members are buried. It had been a long time since I went to their grave. So, I was thankful to have the opportunity to visit today.
I promise to post pics tomorrow.
