Surfside Beach Trip 2009

This years trip to Surfside Beach was wonderful. The girls enjoyed spending time with us, Gran and Pop, and Uncle Brian. They had such a good time building sand castles, playing in the surf, jumping the waves (and they don't get any better in SC than the Myrtle Beach area!) and swimming in the pool.
Each day consisted of basically the following: Breakfast, play, beach, pool, lunch, naps, beach, pool, dinner, bed. Does it get any better? Since that's all we did the pics are mostly from the beach but I tried to post all the sweet ones of the girls having a good time. We can't wait to go again next year!


We took Katie Jo to play putt-putt this year. This was a first and she really enjoyed it, so much so that Jay and I took her again the next night. We finished up our evening with ice cream!








Jay and I had fun helping the girls sift the sand to find baby crabs. They were fascinating to the girls!
We also had fiesta night one night and Georgia got to eat sour cream to her heart's delight!

Can you believe she let Uncle Brian do this to her? She loved it!



We dug these big holes everyday for the girls to play in. It was worth the effort as they usually played in them till we left or the water washed them away.








One evening we walked down to the pier. The girls loved being so high up and watching the waves crash below. Right as we reached the final section a man had just caught a baby shark! Georgia was all about touching it. Katie Jo, not so much!






The last night we were there the girls and I drove over to my old college roommate's house. I hadn't seen Leslie in YEARS! God bless this blog and facebook because it really does help you connect with people you lost touch with. Leslie and I were thick as thieves back in the day and if we lived closer it would still be the case I'm sure! She has two adorable boys, Colin and Jack Henry. The girls loved playing with them and Leslie and I had a wonderful time visiting!

It was a great week! I would be remiss to not include the fact that Georgia was not at her best sleep wise that week. She shared the room with us and went to bed late every night and woke every morning between 5:45 and 6:04. I was truly near tears to sleep in my own bed when we got home. I know that next year will be even better and it's just such a blessing to make these memories with Jay, the girls, my parents and my brother.
