Date Night with Claire

Image
Our ward had a fundraiser for the Young Women. They put together a really cute Daddy Daughter dance. The theme was Candyland. I kept asking David if he was available to go that night and he never gave me a real solid answer. I knew Claire would love to go so I asked him again. I guess the poor guy was a little nervous about the possibility of having to dance in front of any ward members! After I reassured him and told him Claire would be too busy socializing with her friends he consented. Lucky girl! They both came home really excited about their fun night.

I gave Claire some craft supplies and she told me she was going to make some clothes for her bear. I thought, this should be interesting. I left her to do her thing. When I came back I was surprised at her creativity. Her bear is still wearing this cute shirt and skirt combo.

Spring Break House


Image
We went to Hilton Head this year for spring break. We shared this beauty with six other families.  The house house had ample space and plenty of class to swoon us all.  The beach was a few blocks away.

Hey it's my friend Teeg

The men were brave as usual. I'm sure glad David had some buddies to join him, because it was too cold for me.

Oh this is real nice.

We went on a dolphin tour. It brought some  romance into our lives.

Image
We were as bad as the paparazzi, trying to get a good shot of the dolphins.   At times we were able to see a whole family up close. Our tour guide has a sweet job.

We spent one evening in Harbor Town. The kid in all of us enjoyed the big playground. The lighthouse and yachts were very pretty at sunset.

Doug, always a crowd pleaser.

Thankfully Brittany spotted this gator for us.  We could have been looking there all day. It is so easy for those guys to keep hidden. It is unbelievable how still they can be, creepy.

On our way home, it was a great time had by all. We loved being with our friends and having some leisurely family time.
It was  St.Patricks day so we took some pictures at a rest stop.
