"We are family…"

Mom, Dad, Bob & Arlene headed down to Charleston on Tuesday for some Southern sight-seeing and a CSU baseball game. Here we are being silly and having dinner at the Mellow Mushroom.

(Loony Tunes, Bob & Barb… after seeing these two in action, I realizsed we were lucky it was just 2 of the 4 siblings!)

And of course there was some time for serious baseball conversation… Aunt Arlene even put in her two cents about recruiting based on a players “upside.”

D and I enjoyed listening to stories of their crazy capers in Savannah. We bid adieu and set them on back up 17 to Pawley’s Island. Now it’s just the two (three!) of us again.

Beach bummin’

I’ve been reclaiming my beach time lately. So have G and B – it’s like a “Where’s Waldo” – Miss B is fairly conspicuous, but can you find G? (He had taken off after a sandpiper…)

Unfortunately, Coach W’s schedule has been quite erratic lately, due to some rainouts, so I’ve been going solo. Though I suppose if I count the dogs and our little bun-in-the-oven, then I’ve actually been in quite good company…

And there he or she is! Poking out for sure, there is no sucking in that 14-week belly. I felt some flutters at the Kickin’ Chicken on Friday night. (Maybe we have a spicy chicken wing fan!)

On Saturday, I headed up to Pawley’s Island without D -who was quite upset to have to stay behind for rescheduled games. Uncle Bob and Aunt Arlene came in from Minneapolis to hang out at the beach house Mom & Dad D won at a silent auction. Here’s Bob, Mom, and me – are they siblings or what??

We spent some time sight-seeing the more soulful side of Myrtle Beach and walking the beach outside the house.

Aren’t they cute!! They make me excited about life after 50 – so cool and fun to be around!

More pics to follow as the week progresses. The fabulous foursome will be in Charleston for D’s game against the Citadel on Tuesday, 4/8. (Watch it online here!)
