Fishing with Dad

Looking for a freshwater fishing hole is not so easy in Charleston, most bodies of water are saltwater.  After driving around for a few hours, we finally headed to a place called Short Stay, which is a military campground.  We found a small catch and release pond so the kids could cast a line.  It was a cool, windy day and we were able to get a few bites. One of the last things that was pulled in was a small turtle.  The hook was stuck in his lip and Hiram felt so bad!  He said “Sorry, turtle!  I was fish-ing not turtle-ing!”

Charleston, SC

The kids and I joined Dan in Charleston on August 19.  We jumped right into the new school year and got busy with Scouts and Activity Days at church.  The kids have enjoyed the hotel we’ve been staying in, Homestead Suites.   There is a pool, so most days after school the kids go down to swim and I get to enjoy a book.  The hotel room is cozy, though small.
