Nana, Papa and Ira's cousin Cheyenne came from Pensacola to celebrate Ira's birthday. Nana and Papa gave Ira this Spiderman costume. He loved it so much he had to sleep with it on. These two were exhausted after a fun day together.
Spiderweb cupcakes!
Let the party begin!

We spent our Fall Break visiting relatives in Charleston, SC. Ira enjoyed playing checkers with Poppops...
and reading to Big G.
It was a little chilly at the beach but Ira still had fun playing in the sand. Jesse and Ira took the same photo two years ago. It is amazing to see how much Ira has grown.
Ira and Mommy (and future baby) ate a lot this trip. We loved all the restaurants on Folly Beach.
Even if it was a little cold, ice cream and beach trips are a good combination.
Ira and Big G race to the finish line. We found a really fun playground on the beach.
A beautiful boat ride on the Folly River.
Big G keeps Ira warm on our ride.
After the boat ride, we went to dinner with Jesse's grandmother, GG. We are missing Aunt Drew in this picture but otherwise have all of GG's grandchildren and great grandchildren together. Jesse's cousin Brian has two smart and handsome little boys, Blake and Rilee.
The next day Poppops treated us to lunch then took us to James Island County Park.
After a fun day at the park, the whole Bloodworth clan spent the evening at Poppops house.
We spent the next day at Charles Towne Landing, learning all about Charleston's first settlement.
We took a break from exploring to pose in front of "grass mud," what Ira calls the marsh.
