Memorial Day Weekend with Dos Eppies

Summer is here!  To celebrate the beginning of summer, we took a road trip down to the Isle of Palms near Charleston, SC, to visit the "Dos Eppies," twin 7 month old daughters of Tripp's god father, Chris Epps, and his wife, Sarah.  We had such a ball on the island, visiting with the Epps clan and enjoying the outdoors.  The weather was perfect (highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s) and not a drop of rain and very few clouds in the sky.  Below are some fun photos from our time there --- jam packed with fun activities!

A visit to the Isle Of Palms Fire Dept, which was so much fun.  The brave firemen let Tripp climb all over all of their equipment --- fire trucks, rescue boats, four-wheelers, and more!  He had a ball, and even got to "drive" one of the trucks.  What fun!

Chillin' in the golf cart (another big hit) with Daddy and Uncle Chris.

A visit to the marina to check out all the big boats.  It was a beautiful day, so we got to watch many boats launch on the ramp and float off into what was surely a fabulous day on the water!

One final photo with the Dos Eppies!
We had a really great time with this crew and are already looking forward to seeing them again!  Cheers to a great Summer!
