Basketball and Birthday Fun

Ava Grace was worn out by Sunday night!! We had a big weekend!! Saturday began early as we traveled to Williamston, SC to see Luke (our nephew) play basketball. He has played in the Upward league this season and has really enjoyed it!! He plays so hard and is somewhat of a "bull in a china shop" while on the court. It was so fun to watch though!! Luke scored 2 baskets while we were there. Way to go, Luke!!

After the basketball game, Ava Grace and I got a tour of Williamston, SC. If you have ever been there or even know where it is, the tour didn't take real long. Williamston is a small town outside of Clemson and Anderson. Tim's family lived in Williamston until he was in middle school, so he considers himself a native . It was really neat to see the house that the Perry's lived in and to see some of their "old stomping grounds". Of course Ava Grace won't ever remember this trip, so I guess we will have to cruise through town again someday.

After the tour, we were off to Greenville for Rebecca's birthday party. Our youngest niece is turning 5 years old!! It is so hard to believe that she is growing up so fast. As parents we now understand how quickly the time goes by. Rebecca had her party at the Embassy Suites in Greenville. Believe it or not, all this little girl wanted to do was go swimming with a couple of her friends. Isn't that great?? The kiddos (including Ava Grace) got in the pool to swim for a while. Ava Grace had a blast!! She and her daddy played on a float and she kicked and splashed around. She LOVED it!! She even wore an old swimsuit of Rebecca's. Funny thing is...I don't remember Rebecca being that chunky in that bathing suit. Ava Grace's roly poly legs seemed enormous in the swimsuit. It didn't matter though...she was the cutest thing ever!! We all went to dinner that night and the 3 of us headed back up the mountain. So, needless to say, we were exhausted by the time we got home. It was such a fun day though!!!
