This has been quite a fun summer so far. Well, for me, I guess. Chris has been taking classes and coaching summer ball. His summer has been packed full of studying and coaching. We did get to take a great vacation with the family this year. We always travel to Holden Beach, NC with my dad's side of the family. On the way there we got to stop in Greenville, SC to meet up with JD, Danielle, and Jeremiah Adams for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. It was great seeing them and Mr. and Mrs. Adams, JD's parents. By the way, thanks for breakfast Mr. John and Mrs. Gayla! It was a pleasure getting to see you all.
Attached are some pictures from the beach trip and some pictures of the garden this year. We no longer live at the cabin so its not as easy to get up to the garden to work. But it is a blessing to have a wonderful dad that works his butt off up there quite often. This picture of the garden is only the potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, squash, tomatoes, and peppers. The corn, beans, okra, and more couldn't fit into the picture.
This pic is of Chris and Justin. Justin is my cousin who moved from NC to GA last year to attend UGA and work with dad. He has become my brother through this past year...or at least I treat him like he's my brother. Chris and Justin are digging into the Low Country Boil that Dad and Chris fixed this year at the beach.

This is a group picture of everyone (minus Leslie) in my Dad's family. We all stayed in one beach house. It was a little crowded but we made it work and will have memories for the rest of our lives. Didn't my grandparents raise such a cute family?
Just our family.
Chris and Dad putting some veggies into the Low Country Boil. This is by far my favorite meal of the year. I even sat at the bar where the food was laid out and pigged out until there was nothing left. This year we fed 33 people! I think that is the most ever. Dad mentored Chris this year on the secrets to the Low Country meal. I hope he paid attention and can make this sometime for our friends!

We will be looking forward to the boil! And I love the family picture of you guys and miss your mom, dad, and sisters. I'm glad you had a good time. And we loved seeing you guys too. Nothing like eating at Cracker Barrel with great friends and great coffee.
It was great seeing you both. April, still sorry you didn't make the Disney trip with us that year. We must have a "do over" some time. We are so glad that you guys are not soooo far from John David & fam---we love greenville. Your house looks beautiful and the beach pics make me want to go there today. Hope to see you again in Greenville really soon.
