Trip to SC

We went to visit family in South Carolina! It was so fun! Cameron, of course, had to go out and try and  catch some critters. I'll get a few pictures of that out of the way before getting into family stuff.

Now that we're done with that, on to the fun stuff!

Yes, this is the same turtle pictured above.

These next several pictures are of various members of my family with Hellbenders. This was Cameron's number one thing that he wanted to do. They are the largest salamander in the United States, and can get bigger than the ones pictured. Why are they called Hellbenders you may ask? Heck if I know, but we sure had fun saying that we were going Hellbending!

Did I hold one? No. I was holding a cute little girl the whole time. At least that is the excuse I'm going to stick to. But I did touch one.

I really like this picture!

I couldn't resist...

At the family reunion.

I had a new airplane experience while on this trip. Well, besides traveling with 3 children. First of all, our airplane was late picking us up, but that's nothing. When we were on the runway speeding up to take off, all of a sudden the pilot put on the brakes. He made an announcement that we would be returning to the gate because one of the passengers needed to get off. When we returned the flight attendant called someone up to the front and led her from the plane. After she did, they announced that someone in her family had died. I guess now I know how to stop a plane...

Anyway, it was a super fun trip! Enjoy the pictures!
