12 Days of Myrtle Beach

Olivia, Ethan, and I had lots of fun spending time with family in Myrtle Beach. We were sad Paul wasn't able to spend all those days with us, but he did fly in the last Friday we were there, so we were able to spend Saturday morning at the beach before driving back to Atlanta.

Victor gave the kids horsey rides around the house.

Tiffany finally told her hubby he needed to get the kids to wind down, so he read them some books.

Olivia "helped" Granddaddy wash the car. Her version of helping was to wash herself instead of the car. She thoroughly enjoyed the suds.

Matt's family came into town the weekend of my parents' welcome home party and we were able to have a fun day at the beach with them, my dad, and Uncle Eric.

Big contrast, huh? Uncle Eric walked up to my dad and said, "You look like you've been out west." Ha ha! (FYI: they're brothers.)

We also had a pool day.

The kids were pining for the pool on Sunday. Sorry, kiddos! It's the Sabbath.

My parents took me to eat at my family's favorite seafood restaurant, Sara J's. So good! Olivia enjoyed looking out at the marshes and watching some people fish off the dock.

Uncle Eric, my cousin, Jared, and my cousin, Perry, and his family came over to my parents' house for a pool day.

Perry's drink is as big as little Lucy!

The kids and I went over to Elizabeth's for dinner one evening and Ethan met his granddaddy Crolley. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the kids with Aunt Lib. Next time...

Our last beach day before our trek back to Atlanta.
