Myrtle Beach 2010

We spent 2 weeks in Myrtle Beach this past month, it was so wonderful to have our family together for so many days! It was such a blessing to be together, and we loved every minute of it!

We spent our days on the beach, and in the pool. It is a vacation we treasure and we hope that at least for the next few years (while the kids are still young enough to be able to miss 2 weeks of school) that this is where we will be 2 weeks out of October:-)

 Some good quality days with Daddy:-)

 Clara was very unsure of the ocean, and clung to me for the first several days, but by the end she was jumping and splashing as long as I was right there:-)

The ocean is really an amazing thing. The tide changes by 2 hours everyday, and so each day we would park our chair by the water, and would either be moving back every hour to avoid the water, or by the end of the day the water would be so far out we would be moving closer so the kids wouldn't have to walk so far to get to the water .... very cool to see the change.

 We had many bury the children days, which was fine since everyday was bath day after dipping in that salty water. I found it fun to not care about all the sand since we didn't have to drive it home. We went straight from the sand to the shower.... nice:-)

hmmmm.... not really my idea of a good time..... feeding the birds..... and getting pooped on in the process... oh well it REALLY didn't bother Abby:-)

This girl, whom could care less about being tidy, and clean is the most joyful little soul. She spent her days rolling in the sand, playing with the mud, singing and dancing around the beach:-) Love that kid:-)
