Backyard- Lily and June

 Caleb, Hillary, Lily and June stopped by on their way home from Island Park and played on the trampoline for awhile.

June is trying to walk.  She is so cute to watch.  

South Carolina- Day 9- Flying Home

 We had a great time on Edisto Island, South Carolina.  We had to get a picture of the "bra tree" before we left.  It is famous there.

 We ate at the Sunflower Cafe in Charleston before starting our long plane trip home.

Charleston was our first airport; then Dulles, in Washington D. C; then Denver, Colorado; and then home to Idaho Falls.  We arrived in Idaho Falls at 11:45 pm.  Since there is a 2 hour difference it was actually 1:45 am where we left from.  A long day.  It is always good to get home.  Jaxon picked us up at the airport.  

South Carolina- Day 8- Edisto Island

 We visited the Serpentarium on the Island.  Neither Randy or I like reptiles or snakes much, but we decided to see what they have.

 We got there just in time to see them feed the Alligators.  That was pretty interesting.

 The snakes were creepy but interesting.

 A display of a Whiskey Still

 Lots of turtles.

 Their Albino Alligator.

 A python.  It is just creepy even looking at it.

 We stopped by the roadside and bought some baskets from these ladies.  They make them from the local grasses on the island.

 We drove out to Steamboat Landing where the ships use to pick up and deliver the crops from the plantations.  It is on the Intercostal Highway for boat traffic.  There were some fishermen getting crabs.

 We drove through the Botany Bay Plantation.  It has been preserved.

 We ate dinner at the Seacow Eatery.  They have some unique restaurants here on the island.

 We went back out to Steamboat Landing to watch the sunset tonight.  It was beautiful again.

It was a beautiful day again today.  The temperature got to 96 degrees today with really high humidity.  Wow, it was hot and miserable but still a great day.  The sun rises and sun sets are just amazing here.  

South Carolina- Day 8- Tour

 This is the sun rising outside my window this morning.

 We went on the Pink Van Tour this morning with Marie.

 The first plantation home we went and visited was the Manse House. It is on the Historical Registry List.

 Next we visited the Presbyterian Church.  Our tour guide had lots of stories to share.

 The cemetery by the church.

 The Prayer Chapel by the church.

 This is the Presbyterian Minister's home that the congregation provides for him.

 Next we visited  Cassina Point.

 This is the landing and tress around in the yard.  They said this a great place for weddings.

 Next we visited the Trinity Church.

 The church donated their old building to the county for a library.

This is the oldest chapel on the Island.

South Carolina- Day 7- Kayaking, Biking

 Randy and I signed up for a Kayaking Tour. We went down to the Marina to get ready to go.

 The Kayaks are lined up and ready to.  We went out with a group of 10.

 We headed out on the river.  Randy and I went in a double kayak, with me in the front and Randy in the back.  We were with the tide so the paddling was easy.

 This pelican was on this post at the marina when we left and he was still there when we came back.

 We found another bike path on the island.  It went behind the back of the houses.  It was covered with foliage most of the way.  It felt good biking there because the temperature reached 94 degrees. We also went to the pool at the resort.

 The Sarah Jane is a shrimping boat that is based out of Edisto.  It came back in as we were coming in on our kayaks.

 We ate at the Dockside Bar and Grill and Randy had some shrimp that came in on the Sarah Jane.

South Carolina- Day 6- Evening Sunset

 We started out the evening with eating at  The Old Post Office.   It was just down the road from Edisto.

 The Sunset was beautiful, awesome, extra ordinary.

 The sky had so many pretty colors.

 The moon.

The little crabs were out every where.  If  you quite moving they would come out of their holes and walk around.  It looked like the ground was moving.
