SOUTH CAROLINA IS BEACHIN'

So, I recently have returned from good old South Carolina for my second time. It was just as great as I remembered it to be. I LOVE it there! Seriously, if I didn't think that I would absolutely die without my family close I would move there in a heartbeat. This time it wasn't meant to be a vacation. My aunt and uncle decided to pack up and head for Nicaragua for 2 weeks and leave their 4 year-old (Cedric) and 1 year-old (Gabe) behind. I had the pleasure of going with my grandma and my cousin to help babysit. I was there for 11 days just having such a ball. I did learn a few things while I was there though. For instance, I did not have quite as much patience as I thought when it came to little kids. It's a good thing grandma and I were there together because, well, you know how 4 year-olds are: they like to push the boundaries a little. No worries though, we all made it out alive :). I also learned how to cook a little more elaborately than I was used to. In fact, I did a LOT of cooking. Not really my thing...or so I thought. Turns out it can actually be enjoyable (don't tell my mom). We partied at the beach, went to a children's museum, and really just had a rockin' time! Here are some pictures. I've got some of the children's museum, the beach, the boys playing with cards, Elli and I getting all dressed up for Harry Potter and me the morning after I flew in (me wearing the giant t-shirt). Enjoy!
