August 2013 South Carolina

Every year when we go to Greenville, SC we always make a couple of trips to the children's museum. It is a such a fun place. Violet always enjoys painting there and I love capturing her paintings as they progress. I know I am biased, but I really love her work!

gardening with Memaw

Uncle Fred and Papa made this amazing cardboard castle for Violet!

making pancakes with Mimi. Violet wanted to make Tomato Strawberry pancakes. Mimi obliged and they were actually yummy

Violet wanted to pretend it was Christmas, so Mimi brought out the tree.

we went apple and peach picking

right off the tree and into her mouth

We also took a trip to the Happy Cow Farm with my dear friend Victoria and her sweet boy Keller

a trip to the zoo

Violet and her giraffe

we played in the park outside the zoo and about 15 minutes in their was a flash flooding rainstorm!

Violet asked Uncle Fred if he would marry her. She wanted everyone to get married. First she married Papa. Then she married Mimi. Then she married mama. Then Mama married Papa. Then Violet married Fred. Then Mimi married Fred. It was lots of fun!

This is actually right after we got back to Japan, in Sumita park
