Charleston, meet the boys!

Over the weekend, the boys came down for a few hours to see us and meet Rebekah. While they were very excited about meeting Rebekah, the highlight of the trip was spending a couple of hours swimming in the hotel pool with Mommy and Daddy.

Fun in the pool

Zachary loved jumping in - the more splash, the better!

Justin is doing a great job swimming!

Aaron is getting braver - not holding on to someone is a big deal!

Caleb relaxes so much he almost falls asleep in the water. :)

Rebekah and her brothers

Naturally, the time went way too fast for all of us, but we enjoyed getting to see the boys. They are struggling a bit with being away from us, but will be back home in familiar surroundings on Tuesday. In another week, Drew's cousin, Hayley, will be down from New York to stay for a week and play with the boys. They are really looking forward to seeing her and playing with her. :)

Waterfront Park, Charleston

We had a fun couple of hours this afternoon walking around Waterfront Park in Charleston. Although it was VERY hot and humid, there was a nice breeze off the ocean. We were enjoying watching some of the sailboats and other boats in the harbor when we realized there was an airshow over the ocean. For an hour we watched these planes dip, dive, twist, loop and drop. It was so much fun!

This was an aircraft carrier farther out in the bay. If you look closely, you can see the planes parked on the deck.

We watched several small fishing boats like this one come in and out of the bay.

Lots of sailboats like this one were all over the place. We just found out that Drew's cousin Stephanie sailed in on a boat like this today. We may get a chance to see her in the next couple of days before she sails out again on Wednesday.

The Sheriff's Office has a patrol boat that was out following the planes. It even had flashing blue lights on top! :)

There were several small red Tow Boats. We thought the boys would enjoy seeing a picture of them.

This was by far the most exciting boat to see. It is an old US Coast Guard ship. Zachary and Justin, this is kind of like your Lego Coast Guard boat!

We are in the hospital, and I am having quite frequent contractions (2-5 minutes apart). We'll see if this little girl decides to arrive in the middle of the night or holds off till morning. Either way, we will post an update and pictures as soon as we are able to! Check Rebekah's blog for the latest delivery updates. :)
