Celebrating the 4th on the 3rd

Our BAM group got together today after church to celebrate the 4th of July holiday.  We swam, ate, swam some more, ate some more and had lots of fun just being together (45 of us including the kids!)  Thanks to the Parker's for hosting.

The Long Road Home ~ Vacation 2011

We headed back home today after a wonderful week of sun and fun in Hilton Head.  Today, we did things a little different and stopped for breakfast at STACKS.  Then hit the road ~ only stopping at a rest area where we had an impromptu picnic.

Eating our last meal of the week in Hilton Head
Doesn't this creme brule french toast look yummy?  Believe me, it was!
