Myrtle Beach, SC

We are home and trying to settle back in to a routine after our wonderful vacation to Myrtle Beach. It took us about 13 hours to get there. The girls are gettting older and traveling long distances isn't quite as bad as it used to be. Thank goodness for the DVD player in our SUV! The girls watched movies a lot and even watched the entire Anne of Green Gables series...my all time favorite!!!!! Anyway, we had a great time. We stayed in a condo right on the beach with 2 lazy rivers and a pool. Maddy is our beach/ocean lover and Mallory prefered the pool/lazy river which at times made things a little difficult, but it was fine. We just tried to alternate our time each day between both places. Maddy has no fear and was amazing in the waves and boogie boarding and Mallory practiced and practiced and basically mastered swimming in the deep end! (I still stay close by just in case)
We met a wonderful family staying at the same place as we were with 2 girls about Maddy and Mal's age and the girls had so much fun playing together everyday. We swapped address and the girls hope to stay in touch. Dan and I actually sat and relaxed a bit while the kiddos played which was really nice. Sorry for the picture overload...it was hard to only choose a few. :)Father's Day










Love this pic!





Maddy could have done this all day!







Maddy took this pic of us...








I think that's Mal in the tubes, but Maddy started doing it first and called it the "double cheeseburger"

Mallory spent an afternoon with these girls (they weren't into the ocean waves either) Here they are displaying their mermaid tails
This is Maddy and friend Hayden









Love this one too!
Madison, Auburn and Hayden

Great pictures! I'm so impressed that the girls don't mind matching outfits. We do that too although our oldest isn't a big fan...what's funny is that the youngest ends up wearing the same clothes for 3-4 years in a row because we have it in two sizes. The girls are beautiful, I love the pic of them with their Daddy on Father's Day! They are really growing up! Daddy's going to have lots of fun when those beauties are teenagers! Glad you had fun on your vacation!

Wasn't that an awesome vacation? I decided I liked Crescent Keyes better than the place we stayed last year. I can't wait to go back next year, baby or not! I had never noticed before, do you always dress the girls the same? I would think that would be hard. Jordan is so particular about what she wears, I'm lucky if I can pick out her outfits alone!
