To the Beach

What a week! We just finished up our week's vacation at Surfside Beach and while everything didn't happen exactly how we anticipated it, we had a great time! I'm posting in installments since I took an insane amount of pictures throughout the week.

We headed out last Saturday and our first stop was at Finlay Park in Columbia to meet up with Pop and Grammy. They graciously agreed to keep Hank while we were gone so we met up in order to get Hank to them and enjoy a picnic lunch at the park. We did not realize that it was Gay Pride day at the park and there were tons of vendors all over the park, a parade, and lots of colorful people (I think saw someone wearing Anna exact Halloween costume). Although it was a bit more crowded than we anticipated, we had a nice time.

Grammy brought a wonderful picnic lunch for all of us and we found the only shaded spot in the whole park.

Grammy & Pop with ALL of their grandbabies.

Once we made it to the beach, Jack and Anna were eager to check out our own private pool. It was freezing!!

More to come . . . .

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
