A Vacation Back to Home

Paul, Olivia, and I "vacationed" in South Carolina the week of July 11th. We had lots of fun visiting family and friends. I didn't take tons of pictures on this visit, but I have a few. Here are a few things we did:

One day Olivia and I hung out in my sister's backyard. Why? Because she had this huge, awesome, blow-up pool that was easy for the little ones to walk around and play in without us having to worry about them drowning. It was also easy for the older kids and adults to enjoy the cool water and warm sun without have to chase the little ones around.

This picture is fuzzy, but I like it. Olivia is hanging out at the end of the slip 'n slide
Don't let Olivia fool you with her screaming face. She was having a great time; she was merely upset that I was holding her still for a picture. (Tiffany holding Liam and Ginnie, Me holding Olivia, Alexis, and Courtney - Wyatt was napping at the time of this picture, but joined us later)
Our little Crolley family had a blast at the beach one morning. Olivia LOVED the ocean. She walked straight to the water and loved every wave that came her way. She said, "Whoa!" and "Oooo!" when we floated over waves. She giggled whenever a wave crashed on us or when we jumped over crashing waves. She enjoyed Daddy holding her best while we were in the water and Paul loved that she enjoyed her daddy best :)
Olivia took this basket off my grandma's walker and decided to climb in and out of it.
I don't have pictures of it, but we went out to eat with Frankie (Paul's dad) and Paul's sister, Elizabeth. Then we hung out at Frankie's place for a while. Olivia loved playing with her grandaddy Crolley. Wait! I do have this picture. Paul was helping his dad set up a router and Olivia decided it would be fun to sit in the box.
We had lots of fun. I wish we could've stayed longer (I always do), but it's always nice to get home as well.
