Charleston Trip

During Christmas the boys went on a trip to Charleston, which they love. It was colder so they could not go to the beach or go into the water, but they did enjoy walking around the city, climbing a playground and going on a horse drawn carriage tour. Even Lovie got to hitch a ride in Dada's pack to have some fun.

Rocks and Gullies

It took a while, but Dada found a forest not far from the house that we can hike in. To make it even better, they have plenty of rocks to climb! The boys went for an hour and had a great time rock scrambling, climbing and jumping.

There is also a sandy trail near the development by the house that Neha can go for a walk in. What makes this walking area so much fun is the fact that water runoff has created little gully's in the sand. This makes it a lot of fun to run, jump and climb in. Mr. C was working on his Superman skills when he jumped over the gully in a single bound!!

North Carolina Visit

Now that Gammy and Duce live close, the boys can see them more often and like to go visit. They started the weekend by snuggling up with Gammy and reading books and finished the weekend by going for a walk in the woods.

The upside for living in the South is that the weather is warmer in the Winter and the boys can take advantage of walking and hiking. While everyone misses the snow (and Dada misses skiing), it is nice to wear fewer layers and have the sun beating down on you in January.

 

JT's building projects

JT continues to enjoy construction and building things. He is constantly building with his magna tiles and other implements. He has a great love for putting things together...and taking them apart.

His latest interest is housing and fort construction. He has combined his building toys from Aunt Katie and Uncle Greg with his magna tiles to create a house surrounded by a fort. This particular project featured several rooms with a high protective wall to keep out any and all intruders who may try to invade.
