Al at the Beach

We spent a TERRIFIC week with the McKie's on Edisto Island

Al and Daddy practiced their favorite trick

Alistair *really* liked South Carolina
But mostly was happy to be with his family

Rocking with Great-Grandma Gert...

Cuddling with Auntie Nora, who was SUCH a help to Al's Mommy and Daddy...

Auntie Sarah got married!
Silly Mommy did not take any pics of Auntie Sarah and new Uncle Tony,

but here are Sarah and Grandpa, getting ready for the big event.

Our little Minnesota McKie family

Al's parents

Auntie Nora and Uncle TJ

Auntie Alice and future-Uncle Chris

Auntie Katie and Uncle Aufa

Al's FAVORITE new person, cousin Aidan

(see how he watches Aidan with adoring eyes already?)

These two plot to make trouble in the future....

Tricky Aidan. he got us all hooked on this crazy guy....

Who, me? Cause trouble?




Aidan also gave Al his first nickname.

Horseshoe crabs up to no good

A loggerhead saga

First flight- Layover in ATL. Alistair did great on the plane!

These pictures really don't do the trip justice -

we had SUCH a nice time

We wish we could see our McKie family more often.
