Myrtle Beach 2009

We just returned from vacation! We had a great time but were all ready to come home. In fact, we left a day early and drove through the night to get back. Our hotel wasn't as nice as I had hoped but it was on a very quiet and secluded part of the beach so it was perfect! Here are some pictures of our adventure...

Headin' for the beach!

Violet with her purse on the beach. What can I say, the girl likes to accessorize!

She ate about 4 lbs. of sand and was literally covered from hair to toe in sand everyday!  She brought half the beach home with her each night in her diaper!

"Hey Jonah, look at the shell I found!"

Violet and her shadow. At least she wasn't scared of it like Sadie use to be. This would have freaked Sadie out a few years ago!

Me and my man.

Two sisters diggin' a hole.

I think Jonah was looking at a kite here but I can't be sure. I just really like the lighting in this picture.

The view from our room.

Sweet Sadie on the beach and on our balcony.

Images from the pier.

Pure joy!

Jonah learning to skim board. He got the hang of it pretty quickly.

The kids and me relaxing in the lazy "river." Actually, it was more of a lazy stream (see the photo above) but relaxing nonetheless!

Me and my baby girl.

More lazy "river" fun. Violet LOVED the lazy river. She would stay in it forever and cry when it was time to get out. She's such a big girl.

One, two, three WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE!

On the dunes.

Sadie wiping ice cream off Jonah's face. Too cute.

My girls.

Diggin' a swimming hole for Little V.

Aw, aren't we cute?

Our last day on the beach.
