Vacation!

We finally had our summer vacation (it was the last official week of summer, so we just squeezed it in!) and enjoyed a week down at Myrtle Beach. My sweet parents had extra points at their time share and got us a wonderful 2 bedroom unit for the week with a full kitchen, living room, and 2 huge bathrooms! The kids shared a room for the first time ever--they each had their own beds, and lots of chatting and giggling took place (and a good bit less sleep than usual!) Hannah slept in her pack-n-play in our bathroom, so she had a room all to herself ;)

We spent every morning at the pool and lazy river (all 3 of my kiddos are total water babies! Hannah fits right in with my other little fish) and did a fun outing every afternoon after naps--the beach, the park, putt-putt golf, the aquarium...we had a blast! The weather was perfect the whole time, too. David was there with us for the first half of the week, and when he headed back to work, my mom came down for the rest of the week. For the kids' birthdays, she treated them to Build-A-Bear (for Leah) and Ride Makerz (for Joshua). SO FUN! We're so thankful for such a fun and relaxing (well, as relaxing as a vacation with 3 little ones can be!) week. As usual, I tend to just enjoy the moment and forget to take pictures, but my mom made sure I got a picture of each of the kids with their creations--so we have a whopping 2 pictures from our week! :)
