NANA AND POPPA COME TO SC FOR A VISIT

We were super excited to have Nana and Poppa here with us this week. Poppa came down to help us redo our bathroom and Nana came with him. She wasn't about to let him come all the way down here and her not get to come see Brianna. While the guys worked in the bathroom, the girls spent alot of time away from the house(since we didn't have a toilet at home to use). We went to the movies to see Marmaduke. We took Brianna and Kyleah out for an ice cream treat one evening. We visited Build-a-Bear, Target, and Toys r Us---all of which resulted with Brianna being spoiled by Nana. Nana also treated us to a pedicure. I wish you could have seen the looks on Brianna's face as her feet were soaked in the tub of bubbly water and her nails were painted. It was so great to have them here. We miss them already.

Poppa, we thank you so much for all the hard work you put into our bathroom. We couldn't have done it without you!

WE ARE REMODELING OUR BATHROOM

The whole bathroom was gutted.

Floor, walls and ceiling was removed.

Day 7
We now have a new window, shower door, light fixture, medicine cabinet,

vanity and sink, and a new toilet. We also added vinyl flooring and wainscoting.

We still have a few more weekends of work ahead of us. I will post a picture of it when it's done.

RIVERBANK ZOO

Last weekend, Brianna and I went with our Girl Scout troop to Columbia for an overnight weekend trip. On Saturday we visited Riverbank Zoo. We spent 5 hours looking at animals, feeding giraffes and lorakeets, riding ponies, rock climbing, and taking 4 trips on the carousel. Needless to say we were wore out. After leaving the zoo, we had lunch at McDonalds then checked into the hotel. Brianna spent the rest of the afternoon swimming in the indoor pool(thank goodness, I don't know if I could have handled any more heat outdoors). That night, the girls had a slumber party in our room. We ate pizza, popped popcorn, and did our nails. It was a lot of fun. The following morning, we had breakfast and took another dip in the pool before leaving. On our way out of Columbia we stopped at EdVenture Children's Museum. This was a perfect way to start our summer!

EDVENTURE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

Brianna had fun "pretending" with the exhibits. Her favorite part was visiting the butterfly gardens. There were so many pretty butterflies.
