A Trip to S.C.

We took a quick trip up to S.C. so Blake (and we) could meet his newest little brother, Hampton. Blake, Abby, Jacob and I all drove up yesterday morning. Steve stayed home to do some work and get a little rest because he has been very busy at work lately. It is exactly four hours from our doorstep to theirs. When we go there we visited for a while. Hampton is so cute! Jacob had a blast playing with all of Logan's toys. I think his favorite thing was the stairs in Patrick and Traci's house. Abby loved playing with Logan and her favorite thing was petting his head.

Traci gave us tickets to the zoo, so Dylan, Abby, Jacob and I went to the zoo. Jacob decided he was the boss and we had to follow him around the zoo. He looked at each animal for about 30 seconds and he was ready to move on. He kept saying "Let's see what animal is next." He finally slowed down when it came time to look at the snakes (which is the place I could have done without). They actually were pretty fascinating.

After the zoo we headed back to Traci's, after a quick stop at Target, and spent some more time visiting. It was fun to watch all the kids play together and of course hold baby Hampton. Patrick took all the little kids on a ride on their golf cart, with Dylan's assistance. They had a really great time and were not ready to leave for our hotel.

We were up bright and early today to head back home. We did have a quick trip, but it was nice for everyone to get to visit and for Blake to see Hampton while he was still tiny! Traci took some good pics of the kids that I'll post later!

Thanks so much for coming. It was so good to see all of you and we had fun with ya - Logan especially loved that Abby would push him around the house in the big truck. Everyone here is too big to get on his level to be able to do that. He loved it!
