Brock Telling "David and Goliath"

Last week we went to Myrtle Beach with Adam's Mom and Carl. This was our first family vacation of the year! The kids loved the shore! Brock said that his favorite part of the whole trip was chasing the seagulls! They both loved feeling the sand in their hands (and Macie in her mouth).

Brock is already tired of getting his picture taken!

We ate at this great Japanese place two evenings (yes, it was so good we went twice!) The kids were very well behaved because they were totally captivated by the chef.
Macie loved the food so much that she started to shovel it in her mouth with a fork in one hand and a spoon in the other. And an extra spoon...just in case!
Adam made a friend...
Brock and Macie wait for Papaw to dole out the fish food.

A little R and R in the condo...
Our condo had this great indoor water park. The kids played hard...and took really long naps!
Lazy River...
Water slide...
Big Belly... (FYI Macie's bathing suit is actually a tankini - not a bikini. It just wouldn't seem to stay in place!)

Last year...this year...same chair

Saturday was a busy day for us. We started off with a birthday party for our little friend Carmen. She had her party at a farm where we all got to enjoy tractors, hayrides, pumpkins and cake!

Picking out a pumpkin is a lot of work!
Macie wonders why we aren't suppose to eat raw pumpkin. It's a vege, right? Or is it a fruit? Either way, it should be eaten raw for maximum nutritional value!


After nap, we joined my parents, "Nana" and "Granddaddy," at a fall festival at their church. Brock thought it was Granddaddy's birthday party and kept singing "Happy Birthday, Granddaddy."
Hayride with Granddaddy...
the crowd favorite was the collection of John Deere tractors.
Here's my little lady-bug with a mouth full of cookie.
Go faster! Go faster!

Lydia took these great pictures of Macie this summer. I just realized that I had not put them on the blog. Lydia said that she spent hours photo-shopping the food off Macie's face. Ha Ha What a good sister!
