Family Time at the Beach

We escaped for the weekend and went to Myrtle Beach. Our lives have been so hectic lately that we decided that we just needed to get away. I am so glad that we did, we had a great time and the weather was perfect.
The kids were just relaxing in the water watching Daddy playing in the waves
Jacob was having a lot of fun running into the water
David started to copy Jacob and had so much fun running at the water. He would run all the way up and then all the way back and then turn around and do it all over again.
He ran and ran and ran some more until he couldn't run anymore. So, then he decided to crawl. Soon after that I took him into the condo and put him down for a nap and he gave me a look like "thank you" and went right to sleep.
These pictures are not in any sort of order. At the beginning of the day David wasn't so sure about the waves. He liked digging in the sand with the shovel and pail, and he liked the water, but the waves were a little strange. This is a picture of David saying, "Uh-Oh-eeeee" (that's his uh-oh) at a wave coming their way.
The girls had so much fun playing in the waves. I just love this picture because their heads turn in the same direction.
Daddy and David playing in the water
Erica made this special spot of hers, it was very relaxing. One of the things that I love about the beach is that you can spend hours playing in the sand and never get bored.
Sara enjoying the water. She is my little water baby.
Emily spent the majority of her time at the beach collecting beautiful sea shells. She would get so excited about each and every one of them with their unique shapes and colors. She brought a bag of them to her teacher at school on Monday after very carefully hand selecting the right ones for her.
I caught them having a special moment together in the water. The two of them sat like this just hanging out for the longest time.
Jacob can not wait to go back to the beach again. I forgot to put a picture of him on here in the waves. He was so cute, he was karate chopping them and doing his "ninja moves" on them. I really just needed the video camera for that, it was hilarious. He would jump over one, then karate chop the next one, then spin around and kick the next one.
The four of them were finding little clams and putting them in the bucket and watching them dig into the sand. They collected about 25-30 of them
