Man, alive. The kids thought they were in Heaven. Actually being able to play in the ocean without wetsuits and not freezing your you know what off. Coming from Northern CA, they had never experienced that. In fact, I had only been in warm ocean water once before when Beck and I went scuba diving in Mexico a few years ago.
The Isle of Palms was a bit windy, but even with the wind it wasn’t cold. The water was so warm that we could stay in the ocean and be fine. Alex had her first real experience boogie boarding. She caught several small waves with a push off from Dad. The kids were very disappointed when we told them it was time to leave.
After we got back to the KOA, Kit and Katie took naps, and the older kids went swimming in the pool. Then early this evening Bccky’s sister Dee got here. She flew in from California and will be staying with us here in South Carolina and traveling with us to Washington DC. She, of course, has good memories from the Isle of Palms also. I invited her to come on the whole trip as she is a teacher too, but six days of this crazy adventure was all I could talk her into. All three kids are very excited to have Aunt Dee with us.
We went to the beach one more time so that Aunt Dee could swim with the kids too. The sky was even blue by this afternoon. We are loving South Carolina!
