3rd Annual Beach Trip

For the last three years my mom, sister and I have taken all of our kids to the beach over Spring Break. We go to a town south of Myrtle Beach that is quiet and relaxed. We have had so much fun each year, and this year was no exception!

Right across from our house is the playground...

...and on the other side of the playground is the beach.

Gracie, Allison and cousin Grayson.

That's our house on the right, behind Alli.

Kim's Hummer was my "office" while we were there. I couldn't get reliable phone service in the house, so I drove about a 1/4 mile down the road whenever I had scheduled phone calls. I had to giggle at myself - sitting on the phone in the Hummer, my laptop on the console (online with my Verizon card,) looking out at the ocean. What a life!

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

Psalm 139:9-10 (NIV)

I have a few swimming pictures on my other camera that I will add later. Hitting the indoor pool after dinner each night is our routine. Alli and Gracie officially gave up their life jackets this trip! Gracie would have been quite happy to wait a few months more, if not another year, but little sis was showing her up, swimming around like a fish. ;)
