Having some down time in Yemassee, SC

Daddy spinning Caleb around:)

After we left Columbia, we traveled down south to The Oaks at Point South RV campground for some down time and to do some catching up on school with the boys.  This park is one of the Thousand Trail RV parks.  It was a nice, small little park that was great for the boys to ride their bikes around.  When they finished up school for the day, we played around the park or just relaxed in the RV.  The boys also made some new friends here. (Hello to Henry, Paul, Brody and their little sister too!)

Putt-Putt golf is always a favorite past time!:)

Sometimes the boys just entertained themselves with good ol' nerf guns and lightsabers!

The park in Yemassee had a nature trail with a lake nearby. One day, the boys and I walked around the lake and then we passed through the woods to see this...

From a distance, it looked like a huge meadow of green grass. Then, we got closer and realized it was water, covered with green algae!!! EWWWWW! The boys thought it was pretty cool though!

The boys also enjoy playing with their army men. They set up camp with us at each RV site.  After we leave each park, I glance over our site very carefully to make sure no man gets left behind!!! HA!

One afternoon, we drove to Hunting State Park and played at the beach.  It was VERY chilly that day, so we did not stay long.

There were all kinds of trees uprooted on the beach.  I am guessing from several severe storms that came through the area.  

There was a beautiful lighthouse there as well.

The beach had some very muddy parts. It actually felt and looked like clay.

From a distance, the sandy clay parts looked like dark boulders or rocks.  Nathanael struck this pose and said, "Mom! Doesn't it look like I am Superman breaking the rock?!?!"

Micah and Caleb enjoyed building sand castles...

Now with four (actually FIVE) boys in the family, and with all of this mud, clay and sand, it was bound to get messy, right?!?!? Yep! A huge mud fight broke out! Thankfully, I had the camera so I was safe!!!!

At first I thought "Oh Boy!! What a mess to clean up!!!!" But then I realized..who cares?!?!? Honestly, it is worth it all when I know my boys will remember this fun day full of laughs, chilly waters, muddy sand, and a Daddy who was right there with them having fun in the mud:) I am grateful for these memories and blessings on the road...even the messy ones!

Blessings to you and yours!

Jill and the boys:)
