Flowertown Fun with Mimi & Miss Ann

After visiting everyone in Pennsylvania, Mimi joined us on our plane ride home to spend a few days in Charleston.  Having Mimi's help on the plane certainly made everything easier!  Getting ourselves an extra seat between us was a plus as well.
Not only did Mommy come down to Charleston but her best friend, Ann, was also in town for work. Daddy graciously took care of Colin while the three of us enjoyed an incredible dinner at the Charleston Place Restaurant.

The next evening, Mommy enjoyed another night out on the town, this time with Daddy while Mimi and Ann babysat.  Daddy had a squadron function downtown at the Francis Marion Hotel. It was fun to get all dressed up and to get out by ourselves!
The next day, we all headed to a park on the Isle of Palms.  Colin immediately wanted to play in the grass.
 
He also enjoyed some time on the swing.  He had been on the swings before but this was the first time he got really excited and smiley.
Miss Ann and Mimi took care of the "grand babies" (Colin & Lilly)....
while Mommy and Daddy had some fun on the playground equipment. (check out that air!)
After some fun in the park, we headed over to Coconut Joe's for an ocean-side lunch.  

On our final day together, we went to the 40th Annual YMCA Flowertown Festival in Summerville.  The event is filled with tons of food and art vendors.  To give you a little idea of the massiveness of this event check out the photo below:
We took a little break from all the people and found a quiet place to relax.  Colin enjoyed doing one of his favorite activities - examining a leaf.

Lots of hugs and kisses from Mimi!
Colin had so much fun with Mimi and didn't want her to go.  He can't wait to see her again soon!
