2nd Installment

Merry Christmas!
Hello all. Just wanted to tell you hey and that we are well. C.O.'s dad is here visiting and the kids are loving it. Sammy especially enjoys "gaampy" (in his words), so much so that he will endure pain for a period of time. Gaampy was sitting on the couch and Sam came up to him and hit gaampy's substantial belly. On the 2nd hit gaampy told him not to hit and bonked Sam on the forhead lightly with his knuckle. Sam thought this was hilarious and proceeded to hit the abs again, with the same resultant knuckle punch. "This is a stubborn kid", says gaampy as this process continued until Sam would pause, rub red forehead, hit belly, recieve the blessing and laugh and start again. Finally Sam decided that he has had enough. He stops for about a 1/2 hour and then wants to see if the belly slap would produce the same results........sure enough!
We all travelled to Charleston, SC to see some of the history. We saw the old Lady USS Yorktown from the shore and then went into downtown and started learning about Fort Sumter. Charleston is a nice old town and we liked it. The ferry ride to and from the Fort was a big hit with all. Hannah seemed to have no problem getting her sea legs and Rebekah wanted to explore the ferry as much as possible. Nate was a little worried about his little bro, but saw that mom and dad were keeping a weather eye on him that he also seemed to enjoy it.
The Fort was very cool especially to C.O. and gaampy. Very cool to see where some of the first shots of the Civil War were fired. And to think that the walls of the fort were 55 ft high at the beginning of the war and by the time the war ended all but about 12 ft of was was rubble!
Well we will be posting some pictures here soon and then you can see some of our adventure soon.
