Kelli (my sister) insisted we all dress in khaki and white for a family pic :)
We just got back from a 5 day trip to Myrtle Beach with my entire family! We had a really great time...but it was definitely an experience with a 1 year old and 2 year old! We stayed in a really fun and family friendly ocean front resort that had an indoor water park with a great kids area. Grant and Hannah absolutely loved it! We spent time playing on the beach, although Grant or Hannah neither one were very thrilled about the ocean...they enjoyed playing in the sand but mostly liked being in the pool and the kids area of the water park. We took them to Barefoot Landing, went out to eat and let them spend lots of time playing together. They really had lots of fun together and it was great seeing Grant experience so many new things! (Mom and Dad also had fun at the water park...especially Dad :))
Unfortunately, Grant got a stomach bug on Monday that led to lots of vomit all over him, the carseat and the car on Monday night :( Thankfully, he started feeling better on Tuesday and was ready to hit the pool again.
All in all, we have lots of great memories from this trip. I have been to Myrtle Beach so many times, but there is nothing like experiencing things for the first time with your child. Although vacations can be a lot of work with small children, it really is worth every bit of it to see the excitement on Grant's face!

Grant is such a handsome little thing! That picture of Hannah and Grant in the submarine with their mouths wide open is quite possibly the greatest picture of all time. And it looks like Brandon had just as much fun as the kids:)
