I have a little back tracking I need to do. As you know we took the boys on a road trip for my sister's wedding in Florida. On our way we had planned to stop in South Carolina to visit some of our good friends, and help break up the trip. Wes and his wife Gillian are friends of ours from medical school, and Dave is our friend from residency who had to leave at the end of the year because of our programs status. We miss them all, and it was a good excuse to see them and catch up a little.
Playing at the park-it was so hot! The boys only lasted a little bit before getting burned out.
I thought it was cute that there was a plane for them to play on, and they both had on their matching plane outfits.
This plug in PacMan game was truly a life saver both in the van and on the trip! Aiden loved playing it, and then making us play and he watched. I think the grown ups loved it too ;)
Flying baby!
Wes, Micah, and Dave

Oh if only we could just all walk into the sunset together for the next few years, but it looks like we will end up in another program, and not in SC like we were hoping.
Wes and Gillian graciously opened their home to us while we were in town, and got to spend some quality time with the boys-although at times they were a little rambunctious!
Micah and I took the boys around down town the last evening we were there, and there was a lot to see.
We were desperate to find some ice cream for the boys but waited too long in the evening to do so. Everything was closing, and the one parlor that was still open was so packed, and the line was so long we said forget it. We came across a restaurant and thought we might try to get a dessert in there, only to be told they were closing as soon as we walked in. I asked the hostess if it was possible to just purchase a scoop of ice cream or something, that's all we wanted. The one waitress was like, "Of course we can get you some ice cream!" She made us this whole big cup with whip cream, chocolate syrup, and a cherry-for free! She was so sweet and understanding. Thank goodness she came to our rescue! We promptly decided to go there for lunch the next day before we left, and it was very good.
Stopping at the store before getting back on the road again. I though it was funny they wanted to ride in the "car" so bad-being that they were going to be stuck in it for another 11 hours! At least they are "driving" in this one ;)
