Beach Trip

Kevin, Madalyn, and I received an invite to go to Surfside Beach last week with Kevin's cousin (Brantley),and her family (husband-Richard, and two girls, Katherine Grace (who is 3 1/2) and Annalise (who is 3 months), his aunt Wanda and uncle Jim, another couple (Amber, Steven, and Savannah (who is 2).  We left on Thursday and came back this afternoon.  We had a wonderful time. Friday's weather was perfect and even though on Saturday we had a little rain, it was still a nice day.  The girls had a blast playing together.  Even though Katherine Grace and Madalyn are cousins, this was the first time they had spent much time together.  It was a great way to end the summer because I start back to school this Tuesday.

As soon as we got there Thursday afternoon, we hit the beach.  We found a starfish!

You gotta love the moment when a wave catches you off guard and the camera captures the surprise.  Here's 3 bloopers!

Sunday

Our last morning on the beach

I scream...you scream...we all scream for the beach!

What a fun vacation we had. The only problem was it went by was too fast. :0)

And of course what vacation would be complete without a few family pictures, especially when you go on vacation with a professional photographer. :0) Excuse the hair, it's the beach people and the wind was a blowing. 

And of course gotta have a maternity shot

Thanks Brantley for the pics!
