Summer Vacation 2011(so many good pics that there will be more posts to come)

Ethan trying out the boogie board!

These two girls loved playing in the sand.

Isaac preferred the sand over the water, especially if there were big waves!

Toothless grin(Ethan knocked out the top tooth a couple weeks ago)

She spent most of her time riding the waves!

My handsome man!

We recently returned from a family vacation to the East coast. My cousin Sarah(junior bridesmaid in our wedding almost 12 years ago) got married on May 21 in Greenvilee, SC so we headed that way a couple days before. We met up with my parents, grandmother and my brother and his family when we got there. They had a lovely wedding and a beautiful, fun reception which included dancing, a huge swing set and playhouse for the kids, and yummy food. Instead of bubbles or birdseed, they chose to leave as we were all holding sparklers and then as a surprise, fireworks were set off as they drove away. Sunday afternoon we headed to Garden City Beach, SC and spent about a week there with my brother's family. We all had so much fun playing at the beach and it was even more fun watching the kids enjoy themselves.
