This year we were invited down to Charleston, SC to spend time with my brother's family. Originally we thought we were going to be visiting only my sister-in-law and nephew, but my brother was able to join us as well! My parents also made the trip down and we spent a week together in the great weather. Lexus came so even the dogs enjoyed each other.
We visited a live oak tree called the Angel Oak. It is estimated to be 1,500 years old. It was very cool! You can check it out here: http://www.angeloaktree.org/
We also visited Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Even though it was fall, it was very pretty. I'm sure it would be gorgeous in the summer. There was a petting zoo there for the kids. We took Madison and Christopher in to see the animals. A sign said to watch young children around the goats since they could bite so I didn't take Madison near them. However, it didn't warn you about the turkeys. One came up behind me and bit Madison's toe!! Thankfully there were just a few tears and no damage done. We got back at the turkey population later in the week ;)
Shawna hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner! Before we left, we all went downtown and took a carriage ride. Then Aaron, Shawna, Todd and I went out to eat while my parents watched the kids. It was a fun trip! It was great to spend the holiday with family.
We stopped in Corbin on the way back and Todd's mom made us a wonderful meal. We enjoyed the food and company.
After we got home, we put up our Christmas decorations. We are looking forward to Madison's first Christmas! Notice her awesome sitting up skills :)
Poor thing, I can't believe she got bit by a turkey. Glad you all had a great trip!
