Whirlin' Waters n Da Beach

What else to do when it's scorching hot in Summerville/Charleston, SC? Go to Whirlin' Waters with Aunt Manda!

Often, Grace is the risktaker before Chance, like this time when she headed over to the water gun before Chance would try it. He then follows and demands his turn.


And, of course, we made a BEACH TRIP with Aunt Manda too!
She's a beach baby. Strikin' a pose.

The four of us made a groovy track in the sand for the twins to drive cars/trucks. It ended with a tunnel -- one that didn't fall! (See it in this pic -- it's below Chance?)

Aunt Manda took 'em in the water, holding them and jumping over the waves with them too.
We all trekked to Newberry (aka Mayberry) for Daddy's 20th high school reunion. We stopped by Grandaddy Baumgartner's church, Redeemer Lutheran, where he pastored for several years, and played on the playground (well, the gate was unlocked, y'all). Chance apparently likes the sensation of the tire swing movement when he closes his eyes and shakes his head (see VIDEO). Aunt Manda babysat while Mommy and Daddy went to the Sat. nite shindig. It's always a mystery what takes place during these times. :)

What happens with Aunt Manda stays with Aunt Manda...and in the corrupted memories of her nieces and nephews. You'll never know and we'll never tell but when you wonder, "What's wrong with my children?" you may realize where the answer lies. Ha ha ha
