adventures with Florida cousins

here is a sweet pic of ben hanging out with Florida cousins. they were watching the cartoon "Handy Manny" while we hung out at Pop's house. thank goodness for modern technology...they were watching it on matt's iphone!!

adventures at nanny's house

while we were in florida we stayed at nanny's house. so much better than staying at a hotel :) we all enjoyed a little R&R. ben loved to walk with nanny outside to get the dog, and they usually ended up down on the dock. who can blame him?! 

matt & ben had a grand ole time riding bikes & skateboards in front of nanny's house. i became designated picture taker. her extra-long driveway made for a great runway for the skateboard. ben loves the skateboard! here are just a couple pics i could get up.

ben & daddy riding back up the driveway.

the dueling tricycles

time to go in for a nap

we just found him like this. under the table just hanging out. too funny!

ben & nanny-the-great walking down to the dock. 

if only every moment of life were this beautiful!

adventures in south carolina

we stopped in columbia, sc to stay the night with matt's sister kristin. the boys got up and enjoyed some sunshine and fresh air. they rode power wheels and ran around the yard. cousins are great!

adventures on the church playground

it was a gorgeous sunday afternoon and we were heading to florida directly after church. so we let ben run around on the playground a while before we packed up the car to leave town. enjoy his great faces. you can definitely tell he was enjoying himself!
