Pre-ICON No Kid Time

Xiamen, Eric, Sharon, and Anna formed one team.
Brett scales the stairs to drop the pucks for the plinko challenge.
Barb, Carrie, Joy, and Brett formed the other team.
We enjoyed the Game Show Challenge adventure with friends.
Brett kept drawing the "hot seat" and had to answer a question or rap a song.
Brett and Joy rafted the Saluda, Broad, and Congaree Rivers in Columbia on Sunday afternoon.
We had a romantic stroll in Columbia on the SC campus.
We played 18 holes of golf in 90 degree heat with 70 percent humidity at Charwood Golf Club.
Our first time renting clubs and a golf cart.
No pressure, we have all afternoon...but there are people right behind us...
There were water obstacles and sand traps, good thing we bought a box of balls.
Did you remember the sunscreen?
Hole #3, uphill to a green surrounded by houses.

Pre-ICON time w Bryce

Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, not as dramatic as hoped due to the clouds!

Walking along the beach, the end of the line for Bryce's poor sandals.

Happy for the time together.

No hats picture?  Hat hair in evidence.

The amazing four story miniature golf adventure where we did 36 holes!

There were water hazards, obstacles, and new challenges at every hole, unlike anything we have seen before.


Don't miss or your ball is in the water.

After swimming in the ocean...what a relaxing time.



The view from our hotel room.


Top Golf Myrtle Beach...oh yeah!



A night at the Boardwalk and amazing ice cream cookies.


Steady hand challenge, Bryce is up to the task.

Father's Day, We'll celebrate Bryce's Birthday too!

With two sons missing in Tennessee, it was a different kind of Father's Day.  We went to church and then to Grammy and Poppy's place for some good food, games, and conversation.
We're here for you today!

Happy Father's Day AND Bryce and James and Poppy's birthdays!

Joy waters the garden.
