Blog guilt

Most of my diary entries started out with "Sorry it's been so long"or "I promise to get better" and I always seem to feel like I should to start my blog posts the same way. Looks like things haven't changed much since I was 8-yrs-old ... well ... except I no longer have to trick my babysitter into letting me stay up late to watch scary movies.

Although it has only been two months since my last blog post, it feels like so much more time has gone by when I think of all that has happened since then. We have survived the "summer-of-relentless-rain" in South Carolina. The stat I saw tonight on the news said this summer we've had 82 flash flood warnings versus the 13 we had last year.  WOWZA!!!

With summer ALMOST over and football season literally just around the corner.  Here are some of my favorite pics and videos from our fun summer of 2013 ...

For the longest time Briggs wouldn't wear a hat. Now we love the hat ... clothes ... optional.

Hollywild Animal Park
A non-profit wildlife preserve. When I get rich, I'm buying them some concrete.
We made it to the safari bus literally seconds before the downpour hit.
When we got to the car, my feet were so muddy.  
David was nice enough to let me wash off in a roadside puddle.
