July Beach Trip

The Dobbins crew invaded the Dayton House at Myrtle Beach for a few days. Silas and Stephen loved splashing around in the walk-in pool and making laps in the lazy river. We made a few trips out and about. Silas enjoyed creating a new bunny friend at Build-a-Bear, while brother slept peacefully in his stroller. Stephen played on the movie theater steps while the rest of the family watched the action-packed film, "G-FORCE." One afternoon, Dad thought it would be a great idea to take Silas to the arcade "on foot." At the end of the never-ending journey, Silas proclaimed he would NEVER go there again "on foot", but instead would go "in car"! No trip to the beach is complete without a visit to Krispy Kreme---the boys donned their KK caps as they devoured their sprinkle-covered doughnuts. A new tradition was started as the family ventured out on the beach at night looking for crabs with flashlights in hands. No crabs were spotted, but we still enjoyed the hunt! It was quite a memorable vacation with fun for everyone!!!!

Hey there!! I just realized I never got back to you about the CAS Golf event!! My bad! :) Anyway, I'm not sure yet if we're going. We've decided to do fundraising a bit more directly this year (like flat out asking close friends) because we're in the midst of another adoption (which requires more fundraising) and we're also raising money for a fund to help some of our Liberian frinds go back to school. Needless to say, we decided we couldn't do a mass fundraiser at this point so we are doing a bit more grassroots effort. Anyway, regarding the actual event, we are awaiting Donn's September schedule for ministry before we know if we'll be available to actually go to the event. I'm hoping we will but the schedule hasn't been solidified yet by his boss. Are you going??
