Friday we went to the Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort. The Waterfront Park is one of my very favorite places in the world. I spent a lot of time down there when we lived in Beaufort. Bryson and Jordan used to love playing at the park. We walked around the Waterfront, then went through some of the shops downtown. And of course had to stop for ice cream! That evening we went to our friends Ken and Ken's house for dinner. As always that was super fun! Especially after a few glasses of wine!

| Hey look! It's Jordan! Actually looking at the camera! |
 |
| Good "ol Dusty with his squinty eyes. His poor eyes are super sensitive to the sun. Bry says he's been ruining pictures since 2000- the year he was born! |
 |
| The kids and Johnny. What a bunch of goofs! |
 |
| Such a beautiful park! |

| Bry had been whining because she never got a birthday cake this year. Uuummmm, she was never home! Anyway, Ken made her a cake and surprised her with it when we went to their house for dinner. He makes the best pound cake I have ever eaten! They couldn't find any candles, so they put a tea light candle on it. We all got a good laugh out of that! So, Bry got her cake after all, 23 days later. And the next night on the dock, someone was letting off fireworks over the water. She's a 4th of July baby and used to having fireworks for her birthday. This year because of the drought in Indiana, we weren't able to have any fireworks. So, in the last 2 nights of vacation, she got her cake and her fireworks. |
Saturday, we went into town and did a little school shopping. We were only going to have 2 weekends left before school when we got home and my brother's family was going to be in town the first weekend and I also had a wedding that weekend. And shopping the last weekend before school starts is always chaos! Plus, Bry had some Rue 21 coupons that she needed to get used before they expired. And shop, she did! The boys grabbed a couple of shirts, then fussed at her to hurry up. There is no rushing Bry to hurry when she is in shopping mode! We got the shopping all done, then we stopped at Steve's grandma's house to visit with her and his aunt for awhile. Luckily, we got to see his grandpa for a few minutes too. It is always great to see them and catch up. After that, we headed back up to the house. Our friend Chris came up and we drank more wine and hung out on the dock. We didn't want to go in that night knowing we had to head home the next morning. It was such a fun week. It always is. Looking forward to next year!

| Wow-Another Jordan pic! |
 |
| And another one! He was fishing something out of the water. Some kind of weird light bulb. |
 |
| After we take Bryson shopping, we always get a fashion show |
 |
| And another- she was super excited about those boots! |
 |
| Fashion show continued on the dock |
 |
| And one last pic! |
I love Beaufort, too...wish we'd had more time there when we were on vacation. The homes are to die for! Your daughters outfits are super cute! Wish I could carry off looks like those!
