Beach Trip- Myrtle Beach!

Last weekend we took a much anticipated trip to Myrtle Beach with our friends the Dupree’s, Helfer’s, and Boo & Alex!  We’ve been planning this for a year now and we were so excited that the weekend had finally come.  I was especially excited to take Callie to the beach, she loves playing in sand and water and loves playing with Emory- what more could this girl ask for!  We headed down on Friday and immediately hit the beach.  In all, there were 12 of us, with an additional two babies on the way, so there was never a lack of someone to play with.  Thankfully there was a small pool when we headed down and we plopped the little ones down and let them do their thing.IMG_3317Callie liked watering Watson…IMG_3323 and Emory!  This was an attempt to take a picture of three of the four kids, not the easiest task.  Also, I love how Emory is actually posing for the camera! :)IMG_3328 The watering can didn’t leave her hand…IMG_3337Emory found a big pile of sand to climb on, and since Callie thinks Emory is awesome, she wasn’t far behindIMG_3376IMG_3369  The boys made their own fun- bodysurfing…37720_853087788197_12605743_46138895_5021147_nalmost loosing our pants…38276_853087763247_12605743_46138890_2727008_nand some ladder ball…38661_853089250267_12605743_46138943_4001_nDay two we spent a good portion of the day back on the beach… although this time, Callie was exhausted!  I tried several times to get her to fall asleep, but to no avail… we eventually had to head back up for our nap…38396_853087728317_12605743_46138887_154793_n38276_853087753267_12605743_46138888_5151135_n“Boo, stop taking my picture!”  haha38183_853098910907_12605743_46139267_6744216_n

We did perk up for a snack, amazing what a juice and chip can do!37904_853099060607_12605743_46139275_3560171_n 37904_853099055617_12605743_46139274_2522835_n I think all families left the beach exhausted, we all had our hands full, but it was well worth it.  We loved spending the weekend with such great friends and hope we’ll have many more trips like them in the future!
