Folly Beach Vacation 2009

This year we went to Folly Beach for vacation. After the fiasco of vacation last year, Jon and I decided we were not going any farther than 2 hours away! A few years ago we had stayed at this great house for the bridge run, so we decided to go back. Gran, Doda and Kiki went with us and we had a an awesome time! The boys this year were at the perfect age to start enjoying the beach. The first day Ben and Jack were both a little hesitant about the ocean. By the end of the week Ben was walking headlong into the ocean without stopping. We had to watch him to make sure he didn't go too far!
Jack loved building sand castles, digging holes and make "gates". We decided to rent a golf cart since the house was down the way from the beach access. Boy that was a great idea. Kids require TONS of gear. You would think I would have figured this out by now, but it always amazes me! Not to mention an electric golf cart is a good catalyst for getting naps started!
Later in the week Brennen came down and brought his niece and nephew to visit and play. Jack and Ben loved having the older kids around! On Saturday, Robbie, Suzann and Harley came down to visit us. Jack and Harley always have fun together, and Ben will follow anything that Jack does! Brennen cooked an awesome dinner for everyone and we had lots of fun catching up with everyone.
We all agreed, that this was one of our best vacations ever! We did not want to come home!!

Harly is the getaway driver, Jack is the director and Ben is the pedal man!
Nothing like a push up on a hot day at the beach!

Feeding the birds. This is very serious business.

Sweet big boy.

Sweet little boy. All tuckered out after a long week at the beach!
