Holden Beach

I'm back!
Don't get to excited though. I'm gonna start myself out easy as to not over do it. Or, if you want the truth.... the thought of organizing these is exhausting to me so as I like to say, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!!

Here is the lovely Alaire on the ride home from the beach. There were a lot of stops along the way so this chica was getting restless! Auntie Em and her makeup bag to the rescue! She said everyone would know she was big because she had makeup on












I had to get this picture with Emmy for a favorite blog of mine. She does "Fist Pump Friday" posts and had requested a reader picture in a hammock. There was a hammock under the house and the writer of the blog has a "twinner" as she calls it so I hope we make it. Look for us here on Friday!










Lunch stop on the way home was at Mam and Pap's for Gino's. In 5 minutes flat we finished of 4 pizzas!















There was a short detour on the way home in Lewisburg wv for my "cousin" Jason's wedding. It was so fun to see friends and family!! Read my mom's blog for lots more pictures.


















This was the picture of the losers of our races one day but they had so much fun you would never know that they had lost.














Auntie Em and I walked to Alaire's "ruffles" a.k.a. the sandbar where the waves are just ripples with all of the kids and as we waited for the tide to go out we had a big obstacle race.

















Peepaw treated us to ice cream every. single. night! And that is likely why my shorts are VERY snug fitting currently!

































The winner picture with the losers giving bunny ears.















riding our boogie boards in the ripples.









She and Ellis loved looking for the little clam diggers and fiddler crabs. Trevor got really good at catching them with the net and the kids would just lay there and watch them dig.















Displaying their dollar prizes after our goofy golf tournament award ceremony. My dad has always given away a dollar to any player that gets a hole in one. Sarah got the only one this year but Pappy had lots of dollars still to give so he had an award ceremony on the bench outside.









Ellis Loved Boogie Boarding!
