We spent a long weekend in Charleston visiting our good friends Scott and Melanie and their adorable twin daughters. With my camera in the shop, Melanie saves the day and takes some amazing pictures - she really has a gift. She hasn't sent them all yet, but here are some early favorites. We took the kids to the beach on Saturday morning. The tides were perfect with little pools for the kids to run and play in shallow water. More so than any prior beach trip, Ava could not get enough of the ocean. It had been too long since we had seen them, but it was so good to catch up right where we left off.
