Our trip to Isle of Palms for Kylie's Wedding

Well, the summer is gone. And we didn't do much for the first 3/4 of it. But this past two weeks we went to South Carolina for some time at the beach, time with family, and for Kylie's wedding! It was a great time and it was sooo wonderful seeing Connor with his two cousins: Ruby (4) and Indy (2.5). They got along suprisingly well for being so close in age.

The first thing we did when we got there was go to the beach! The house that David's dad rented was a block from the beach and we all (11 of us) stayed there together. Here's a shot of Connor at the beach and Auntie Kylie's dragging Connor around on the boogie-board :)

It was great having everyone together (David's parents, his brother Adam and sister-in-law Kathy, Ruby and Indy, Kylie and her fiance [now husband] Ryan, and Auntie Dotty [actually the kid's great-auntie]... we also got to see cousins Debbie and Rob and Auntie Wilma and Uncle Lindsay. Dot, Wilma, and Lindsay came all the way from Melbourne for Kylie's wedding... They have come for all three Blackman kids' weddings, which has been great!

Here are a few more shots. Connor and Ruby on Grandpa's boat. We had a great boat trip. David and Connor posing in downtown Charleston. The kids playing at the Charleston Aquarium. Fiona's first dip in the Ocean (in the buff). And Fiona and Daddy checking out the fish at the aquarium.

The reheasal party was fun. There was karaoke and the kids just danced and danced. Well, Connor really just ran around in circles. Mommy and Fiona wore matching outfits...

Here are a couple of shots from the wedding...
