Last weekend we went to Charleston for a wedding. It was about a 4 hour drive so we headed up on Friday afternoon. Thankfully nap time fell during the drive. Here's Helen sacked out in the car. Notice she is clutching her lovey even in her sleep.
Ella is fighting hard to stay awake but she fell asleep shortly after this. When they woke up, the discovered a great new invention - DVD player in the minivan. This is the first road trip we've taken since we've turned their car seats around so they had a great time watching Baby Einstein, Barney (not Daddy's favorite), and the Little People.
On Saturday there was a big farmers market across the street from our hotel. So we headed over to check everything out. They even had bouncy houses. Since they were empty when we got there, we had one all to ourselves. Helen is not too excited about the idea of bouncing around though.
This is Ella and Alex trying on their "Bouncy Feet". Ella was fearless and crashing into everything and Alex was just glad to be next to his mother
Here we are in the back pew of the Citadel Chapel where the wedding was held for Cecil's cousin. The kids were
definitely the "Pre-Game Entertainment" since we let them loose inside the chapel before the ceremony started. I don't know what was more entertaining: The kids running up and down the aisles or us chasing them.
Needless to say, the kids were all dressed up and they looked adorable. Here is a shot of Ella pouring on the charm with Uncle Jerry and
somehow getting him completely wrapped around her little finger.
Ella and Uncle Jerry hanging out together before they walk down the aisle. I believe this is right before Ella starts to show everyone where her belly button is.
Alex being extremely happy in Mommy's arms.
Helen playing with her one of her favorite toys: the cup and spoon. Needless to say, she is doing pretty good now that we are letting them feed themselves with
utensils during mealtimes. She can clean out a bowl of pudding before Alex and Ella can get out of their starting blocks.
Ella trying to talk Cecil into letting her go so she can go and investigate whats happening in the front of the Church during the ceremony. Looks like Daddy is on the little finger now.
The kids did good on the night of the ceremony and stayed up until 8:00pm. Now they are getting ready for bedtime. Cecil went to the reception and I stayed with the kids. I still got cake and dinner though.
Helen and Alex on Cecil's birthday. We went to a fancy
restaurant called "High Cotton" located along Battery Park for a Birthday Brunch. The
restaurant was kid friendly and the kids did fine although they were still tired. Luckily, they slept on the way home.
