Powell family reunion at Myrtle Beach...





 


 

 




















Annual cousins' birthday party...









Braden and Nate, the best of buddies...


Japanese Steakhouse...always a highlight!









Watch this little guy!
We hadn't even noticed he was using his chopsticks...
Definitely a natural.:)


Fun at the water park!




Poor little Joshua wasn't much for the water. 
He screamed for the first hour or so.


By the end of the day he had found his niche, though...
on the lazy river. :)


The weather was perfect for our days on the beach...














On the last morning, Tim woke Braden up early,
and the two of them walked to the beach
in time to see this beautiful sunrise. 


We closed out the week with a trip to our favorite ice-cream shop...


Joshua says, "This is the life!"


 The Lord gave us a beautiful week together
and we are so thankful for the gift of our family!


Oriole's Game in Baltimore with Bryan and Rachel...







 Braden was picked to go out on the field during pre game!
He was pitched to by the Oriole bird,
hit the ball on the first pitch,
and ran for his first official home run...
or actually, ran for his life is more like it. :)



Sweet times with friends...

Enjoying s'mores in the backyard with
our wonderful neighbors,
Matt, Erin and Andrew...




Celebrating Memorial Day with dear friends,
Daniel, Victoria, Lydia, Josie, Sydney
and twins, baby boy and baby girl, who we are yet to meet. :)
