Florida & South Carolina

We just back from South Carolina last night. This marks the end of our traveling time. February and March seems to be the time that we travel. Terase carries over days every year that she has to use before March 15th so we use those days to head to Florida. This year I got fried…and I mean bad! I was feeling it 1 week after we got back.

This last weekend we went to South Carolina to see the Clark’s. It is always fun to stay with them. They have 3 kids now; Thomas (6 years), Chandler (2 years), and Adi (8 weeks). The last time we were out there Chandler was just getting a personality so some days he liked you and every morning he wondered why you were still there. This year was different. He still wondered why you were there in the morning but within a couple of hours he warmed back up and wanted me to tickle him and allow him to “touch” anything that was taller than me. It was great!

Thomas was awesome as well. It is always good to see him and have him remember us since we only see him once a year. A surprise for him this year came from his cousin Judd and his wife Karen who drove from Des Moines Saturday and Sunday (oh I remember those days). They brought Thomas an X-Box and oh was he impressed. I hooked it up for him and we were off playing “Madagascar” and “Tak & Lok”. For a kids game “Tak & Lok” is pretty difficult, especially with a 6 year old that would rather swim in the water of the game than win the game. That was a learning experience for me. I repeatedly was trying to hold back my frustration because the point of video games is to beat it. Not for Thomas! Oh well!
